Alphaliner表示，随着IMO 2020规则实施日期的临近，全球集装箱船安装洗涤塔的数量将在未来几个月内浪涌式激增，正筹备将于2019年6月19日举办“2019国际船用洗涤塔产业上海峰会和将发布免费公开版2019-2025船用洗涤塔研究报告的国际船舶海工网了解到。
Alphaliner援引其对洗涤塔改造的调查表示，16艘规格从2,900 TEU到18,000 TEU的船舶被认为正在远东的各个船厂进行改造工作。
“今年将要改装的集装箱船数量将稳步增加，预计2019年下半年每月将有多达30艘船舶停运。大部分改装计划与其商定的干船坞日期相吻合，以便尽量减少船只的怠机时间。“
随着更多的集装箱船东选择安装洗涤塔，洗涤塔的接受率会继续增加，目前集装箱船订购洗涤塔总数估计超过700套。其中，约有200套将安装在新造船上，而其余500多套预计将在现有船舶上进行改装。到目前为止，刚刚完成或正在进行改造的船只已超过50艘。
鉴于大量需要改装的船舶以及洗涤塔改造船厂可用坞期数量有限，其中只会有不到一半的集装箱船只能将在2020年1月1日限硫令实施日期之前安装。
为了反应和响应全球船舶行业洗涤塔的发展趋势，在成功举办首届船用洗涤塔和压载水上海国际论坛和其他系列船舶和海工专业业论坛的基础上，正筹备将于2019年6月19日举办“2019国际船用洗涤塔产业上海峰会”和将于2019年12月1-2日举办“2019第二届船用洗涤塔和压载水上海论坛”的国际船舶海工网和其管理机构SeaHow公司决定，将联手于2019年8月28日前编辑、发布印刷版《2019-2025 船用脱硫洗涤塔产业发展研究报告》（该报告名称为暂定名字，以下简称为报告）。该报告的PDF版和微信版，将向全社会免费公开，公开时间为2020年2月20日0点20分。见2019-2025船用洗涤塔研究报告将免费公开报道。

Alphaliner: Boxship Scrubber Retrofits to Surge Ahead of IMO 2020
The number of containerships taken out for scrubber retrofits is set to increase in the coming months as the date for the implementation of the IMO 2020 rule approaches, Alphaliner said.
Citing its survey of ships identified for scrubber retrofits, Alphaliner said that 16 ships ranging in size from 2,900 TEU to 18,000 TEU are believed to be undergoing retrofit work at various yards in the Far East.
“The number of containerships to be retrofitted this year will increase steadily, with up to 30 ships expected to be out of service each month in the second half of 2019. Most of these retrofits are scheduled to coincide with their regular drydocking dates in order to minimise the vessels’ downtime.”
The rate of scrubber uptake has continued to increase as more containership owners opt to install scrubbers, with the total number of scrubbers ordered so far estimated to have exceeded 700 units. Of this, about 200 units will be fitted on newbuildings, while the remaining 500+ units are expected to be retrofitted on existing ships. Just over 50 ships have completed, or are currently undergoing retrofitting, so far.
Given the large number of ships requiring retrofitting and the limited number of slots available at scrubber retrofit yards, less than half of them will be fitted before the January 1, 2020 sulphur cap implementation date.
