Karatug, C., Arslanoglu, Y. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Feasibility Analysis of the Effects of Scrubber Installation on Ships”, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Vol. 10, 1838.
A qualitative risk assessment is performed covering all kinds of system arrangements of a scrubber to be installed onboard. The main subsystems and components are determined and the corresponding failure modes and effects are presented. Then, a feasibility analysis is conducted on a crude oil tanker. Differences in power generation and fuel consumption of the diesel generators based on the noon report of the specified marine vessel are analyzed for similar periods before and after the scrubber application. Accordingly, the changes in releasing amounts of emissions are calculated. Finally, a financial assessment is realized with three economic indicators. It has been determined that the scrubber application causes different risks depending on the system design. Besides, although its implementation is financially acceptable, it is observed that it causes an increase in all pollutants’ amounts except SOX. Therefore, it contradicts the zero-emission ship target and decarbonization strategy stated by IMO.
