Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp and MPC Container Ships (MPCC) are adding 13 boxships to a tally of around 300 such vessels that are destined to be fitted with scrubbers.
Five containerships in the fleet of Oslo-listed MPCC will be retrofitted, while eight of Yang Ming’s under-construction feederships are expected to be equipped with exhaust-gas cleaning systems.
Yang Ming is understood to have opted for scrubbers on eight of its 2,800-teu newbuildings ordered at CSBC Corp in Taiwan in August.
