Delta core ports - Shanghai, Ningbo,
Zhoushan, Suzhou and Nantong - will
require that vessels use fuel of less than
0.5% sulphur content whilst at berth.
In its role as technical service provider,
Goltens offers laser scanning,
pre-engineering and complete
retrofits – either to fit a scrubber (to
remove sulphur and particles) or
SCR installations (Selective Catalytic
Reduction, to remove NOx from
exhaust gas). Alternative ways to
comply with the sulphur emission
limitations are to switch over to low
sulphur fuels or LNG.
