According to the message, recently, technology of Intertanko of association of ship-owner of international tanker independence is in charge of Dragos Rauta to express in a report, because its structure integrality wants the influence of the solution after be cleaned by gas of high strenth acidity, the service life of equipment of shipping to decoke will not exceed 10 years.
Dragos Rauta expresses, "The tall acidity that the service life of desulphurization equipment suffers clear solution is right the influence that installs integrality, the service life that predicts an equipment will exceed 10 years very hard, in addition, equipment of use to decoke still can cause the additionally a few effects that cannot ignore to the environment. Equipment of use to decoke still can cause the additionally a few effects that cannot ignore to the environment..
International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation, since January 1, 2020, will apply in global limits new shipping sulfur oxide discharges limitation compulsively, ship of sail a boat of boat of common water area (be not namely discharge ship of sailing of water area of control division <ECA> ) use contain sulfur content ≤ of 0.50%m/m marine fuel is oily (current, this one upper limit is ≤ 3.50%m/m) . Additional, shipping also can carry equipment of installation to decoke (namely the Scrubber that common weighs) will achieve a requirement. Be like otherwise, IMO member country will have corresponding penalty to obtaining the ship that adds up to rule requirement.
At present distance 2020 IMO is restricted of sulfur new rule carry out formally only the time of a few 10 months.
Dragos Rauta expresses, "Besides use more clean fuel, I did not see at present any the potential long-term sex that can answer new regulation solution. Most solution can be to be in only short-term inside effective, in short dispute but durative. In short dispute but durative..
"Accordingly, apparent, shipping still needs another kind already feasible the new-style solution that can last again will satisfy the sulfur 2020 to discharge upper limit requirement, in the meantime, did not forget future considers international shipping reduces the demand that greenhouse gas discharges even. Did not forget future considers international shipping reduces the demand that greenhouse gas discharges even..
It is early actually at the beginning of this month, chairman INTERTANKO, Tsakos Energy Navigation Ltd CEO Nikolas Tsakos ever made desulphurization equipment an analogy express, "We invent a kind of new drug, this kind of medicine may cure a kind and, but this kind of medicine may come into being another side-effect to kill a patient. But this kind of medicine may come into being another side-effect to kill a patient..
Desulphurization equipment " short-lived " , so doesn't ship-owner consider to install this kinds of equipment to answer new rule really?
An industry expert, kassinger Consulting LLC. Advisory company chairman, ever had worked 27 years in Esso/Exxon, the American general that technical adviser becomes 25 years for DNVPS Fuel Testing again after retiring crosses university doctor Rudy Kassinger to be in some earlier this year time ever showed, endless also like that.
Important is cycle of consideration investment redound. Inside the invests redound period to will be in two years time that casts at present, below certain circumstance, need the time of 6 months only, on paper face, such investment has enough time to win get one's own back.
But the word says again, if net of Xin Dehai thing reports before this, the 2nd large ship of world is in charge of company Sino-British boat to be in charge of Bjorn Hojgaard of Anglo-Eastern Group presiding apparitor to ever pointed out, equipment of installation to decoke needs to be brought to shipping additional self-prossessed, use up more oil, report, and still be met cause an effect to marine stability.
In addition, oil price of sulfur of on any account goes poorly situation still will be opposite the investment redound cycle that installs desulphurization equipment brings bigger uncertainty. Net of Xin Dehai thing thinks, short-term inside, because most shipping decreases the choice after carrying new regulation become effective to use low sulfur oil, this may play the price difference between oil of sulfur of large on any account further. But those who consider new pact is compulsive carry out, and future is more strict the big trend that environmental protection asks, use more the fuel of environmental protection or more full-scale new science and technology are sure to make trend of final main aspect.
Because this installs the expedient that desulphurization equipment is initial stage of convention become effective only, and its invest return rate to because,be met boat, those who wait for an element is different and boat age, line is diverse, choose which kinds of solution to answer new rule after all, each ship-owner needs what to manage ship scope of business to make good calculation according to oneself.
