The number of vessels fitted with scrubbing systems worldwide is expected to reach 4,000 units in 2020, following the global cap on sulfur emissions introduced by the International Maritime Organization at the start of the year. Vessel scrubbers are employed to remove nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and other air pollutants from exhaust gases generated by engines.
