Retrofitting scrubbers on older vessels and newbuilds with exhaust gas cleaning capacity has increased to an all-time high of 42, maritime intelligence platform Alphaliner reports.
But peer platform Safety4Sea reports that the milestone masks a clear deceleration in adoption compared with earlier years.
As of January 20, Alphaliner recorded 1 543 scrubber-equipped ships, representing 13.9 million TEU of global fleet capacity, equivalent to about 41.3 of current cellular capacity.
