Reducing Emissions

Reducing Emissions

The future limits for SOx and NOx emissions require considerable efforts on the part of shipyards and ship operators. A number of scenarios are conceivable:

  • the conversion of a large part of the fleet to gasoil operation
  • the installation of emission cleaning systems (dry/wet scrubbers)
  • from 2016 additional combination with solutions for NOx reduction
  • LNG/dual fuel concepts for newbuildings
  • other solutions for ships world wide

FSG is facing the challenges early and offering solutions for all eventualities. The illustrations show how different cleaning plants can be integrated.

  • Investment and life-cycle cost estimates for the various scenarios, backed by credible data, are essential for the economic success of customers
  • individual life cycle cost considerations for conceivable alternative concepts are part of the FSG overall package
  • in its draft concepts, FSG takes into account space and investment requirements for emission-reducing measures and the significant influences they exert on ship design.
  • new technologies are worked out and integrated jointly with suppliers
  • efficient ship designs and propulsion systems are available and adapted to individual customer requirements
  • FSG continues to offer customers trustworthy co-operation and individual care after ships have entered service and to adapt vessels to future needs.
