In the video it mentions over 100 of MSCs ships are suitable for MSAR..Those with newer engine types.
From MSC, New Vessels
About 6 years ago when 9,000 TEU vessels were taken over, those were the biggest vessels at that
time, little did we know then that the vessels will grow to this size of 23,676 TEU.
With this large number of containers being carried by one ship reduces the CO2 emission per TEU
carried which lowers the carbon foot print not only for the vessel but also for the supply chains. The
shape of the bow with long bulbous bow and the improved hull form enhances energy efficiency by
reducing hull resistance and economises on the fuel consumption. We are ahead of time to meet
the international 2030 environmental targets of improving the CO2 emissions per ton of cargo
carried.
The vessels have unique superstructures - accommodation block with fully enclosed bridge
and engine casing which encloses all the inline scrubbers. The vessels are provided with three
in-line scrubbers (exhaust gas cleaning system) operating on a hybrid system. No.1 Scrubber is
connected to Main Engine 66 MW, No.2 scrubber to G/Es 1 & 2 – 7.5 MW, No.3 scrubber to G/E 3,
4 & 5 and boiler – 15.84 MW. All the scrubbers are designed to operate at 90% load of the engine and
are capable of reducing Sulphur content from 3.5% to 0.1%.
So MSAR could be fueling these ships way past 2030, the next IMO targets I believe being 2050
