Implication

Quantitative analysis compares compliance costs of scrubber installation and VLSFO switching in feeder vessels, suggesting cost-effective solutions for shipowners.

Key Points

To determine the compliance costs of sulphur abatement options for feeder container vessels under maritime regulations.
Utilized quantitative methodology to compare NPV of scrubbers versus VLSFO.
Assessed two vessel scenarios: 907 TEU and 3,000 TEU.
Performed sensitivity analysis on fuel prices, loading factors, and scrubber costs.
Scrubber installation is financially beneficial for 907 TEU vessels with a lifespan over 9.5 years.
VLSFO is more economically viable for 3,000 TEU vessels across their lifespan.
Fuel switching is cost-effective for 907 TEU vessels when the price spread is $147 or less.
