Diamond S Shipping will not have a trio of suezmax tankers retrofitted with exhaust gas scrubbers in time for the 1 January IMO 2020 emissions deadline.
Instead, the Connecticut-based owner will see the equipment installed some time in the first quarter of 2020, executives said today on a quarterly earnings call with investment analysts.
Chief financial officer Kevin Kilcullen said on the call that the first two suezmaxes to be retrofitted are already in yards and are expected out by the end of August.
