Alphaliner has reported a growing trend of dual fuel container ships being equipped with scrubber technology, allowing them to operate on conventional fuels despite their design for LNG or methanol. The EU's 2024 carbon pricing regulations have made green fuels more accessible, yet concerns about emissions compliance persist as some carriers opt for cheaper fuels. Notably, while many methanol dual-fuel ships lack scrubbers, certain models, such as those from HMM, do include them, highlighting the ongoing cost disparity between green and conventional fuels.
