New York-listed Global Ship Lease (GSL) has identified a potential boost to its operations from the coming IMO 2020 deadline.
The boxship owner's CCO Tom Lister said on its conference call that the company views the regulations as a positive catalyst for owners offering ships to the charter market.
"Scrubber retrofitting, which takes a vessel out of service for approximately six weeks, is causing the removal of capacity from the market during 2019 and beyond," he added.
