Hybrid scrubber system offers an alternative to lower sulphur fuel
A small group of EMSA staff were recently invited by RoyalCaribbean Cruises and Tui to view the new Hybrid ScrubberSystem that has been installed on Tui Cruises new ship, theMein Schiff 3, which had called into Lisbon during its maidencruise to Malta.
During the visit the EMSA group was givena presentation on the exhaust gas cleaning system installedon board, which is currently under trial.
They also visited theengine room to see the system in situ and were briefed onhow the system removes sulphur oxides from the exhaustgases.
The Hybrid Scrubber System enables the ship to meetthe requirements of MARPOL Annex VI and the EC SulphurDirective (2012/33/EU), without using low sulphur fuel.
