Twelve largest containerships ordered by Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) will be fitted with scrubbers, ahead of their expected deliveries in the second quarter of 2020. The installation of the exhaust gas cleaning system will allow the giant boxships to continue burning the 3.5% high sulphur bunker fuel beyond 1 January 2020, when the IMO 2020 regulation will be enforced to limit fuel sulphur content to 0.5%. Among the twelve 23,000 teu containerships, seven will be built at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and five at Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI).
