2021: A Second Wave of Scrubbers

24.02.2021

It’s easy to mistake January 2021 for January 2020 with all the talk of widening HSFO / VLSFO spreads. And as numerous scrubber manufacturers have hinted in recent weeks, it’s looking increasingly likely that there’s going to be a second wave of shipowners installing scrubbers. The price differential has been slowly climbing for a couple of months now, and recent analysis by Greg Miller suggests that Capesizes with scrubbers are already looking at more than $2,500 per day of savings. Indeed, as TradeWinds reported on 28 January, a scrubber fitted VLCC was recently fixed at a time charter equivalent rateRead more

This article discusses emerging threats from harmful algae and suggests a renewed approach to protecting assets against harmful algal blooms by harnessing developments in sensing technology. Don’t have time to read this article? why not download to read later! Bad neighbours, a spanner in the works and the deadly blue green ‘Harmful Algae’ attracts international news media coverage. The causes and effects vary depending on multiple factors such as abiotic components and nutrient levels, but in many cases the impacts are devastating. Harmful algae poses three key threats to water assets and the environment–at least two of which are relativelyRead more

Protecting shipowners in the long run: A case for stringent scrubber wash water monitoring

06.07.2020

Installing a scrubber represents a significant investment for a shipowner. With the financial cost of the system and its installation, coupled with the lay-up time – no shipowner can take the decision lightly; with the reduced spread between HSFO and VLSFO increasing pay back times, scrubbers need to make sense as an even longer-term investment today. The economic case for scrubbers remains strong, though. If HSFO remains cheaper than VLSFO, scrubbers will represent a return on investment for shipowners and the current gap is highly likely to increase rather than decrease any further. Then there is the issue of fuelRead more
