Scrubber Deliveries on the Rise Despite Deadline

 

Wärtsilä is delivering several scrubbers a month in the lead up to the ECA regulations entering into force in Europe in 2015. It is now too late to start and finish an installation project by the end of the year, but this delivery rate is more likely to pick up than to abate. 

 

“The main argument for scrubbers is that you get a cost saving compared to switching to gas oil inside ECAs, and we initially thought that the financial argument would be the only driver,” says Sigurd Jenssen, director, EGC at Wärtsilä Environmental Solutions.

In submissions to the IMO’s environment committee (MEPC), Transport & Environment (T&E) and Seas at Risk (SAR) – both members of the Clean Shipping Coalition – have drawn on research by the University of Gothenburg which states that transparency is essential if the industry is to reduce its GHG emissions and develop a sustainable low-carbon future. The study prepared by Jessica

Pero es que no se trata de una cuestión que atañe exclusivamente al aspecto jurídico del asunto: en este interesante seminario desarrollado en el salón de actos del castillo de Santa Cruz y con un envidiable tiempo de verano que hermoseaba todavía más la ría de A Coruña, se volvió a hablar, aunque un tanto sotto voce, de
