Hyundai Merchant Marine signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hyundai Global Services to install scrubbers on an undisclosed number of vessels.
According to the MoU, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group will supply ‘Ship Desulfurization Facility’ to Hyundai Merchant Marine, while Hyundai Global Service will design work the desulphurization systems.

Hyundai Heavy Industries’ desulphurization facilities, despite being on the same level with existing European products, have reduced their size by about 35% through an all-in-one design.
Moreover, Hyundai Merchant Marine recently ordered twelve 23,000 TEU container ships from Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, which will have scrubbers as well.
In addition, two 11,000 TEU ships were delivered in June from Hanjin’s Subic, which also include scrubbers.
