22OCT2018 - NEWS - Genco Shipping and Trading plans to install scrubbers on 17 Capesize vessels

Genco Shipping and Trading has recently unveiled plans to install exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) on 17 of its Capesize vessels in order to comply with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) upcoming 0.5% sulphur fuel regulation. The plan also includes options for installation of scrubbers on 15 additional minor bulk vessels. The remaining vessels in Genco’s fleet are expected to run on compliant, low sulphur fuel beginning in 2020, when the new 0.5% sulphur fuel regulation comes into effect, to reduce the sulphur content in fuel to 0.5% from the current limit of 3.5%.
