Abstract

The newly-introduced environmental regulations regarding the fuels’ content in sulphur inside ECA zones, creates a new reality for shipping companies. In order to face this reality, the ship-owners have to choose between consuming distillate fuels or conventional fuels along with the installation of a scrubber. This multifarious problem requires the presentation of the two available means of conformity, so the reader can fully comprehend the difficulties of the issue. In the meanwhile, the majority of the published available bibliography was reviewed, regarding the environmental and economic assessment. Moving forward, a sophisticated ultra-large containership, which trades in the busiest ports of Europe and Asia, was used for assessing the economics of scrubber installation. Four possible scenarios are examined concerning the exposure time in ECA zone and different operating profiles.
