Braemar ACM expects that scrubber adoption among the global will see a ten-fold increase from current levels by 2022.

“We expect scrubber adoption to accelerate in the second half of 2019, peaking in 2020/2021,” the shipbroker said in a recent report.

“By 2022 we expect about 3,600 vessels to be installed with scrubbers in addition to the roughly 360 vessels today.”
