1. As fuel prices rise the payback time decreases and fitting scrubbers is economically viable,depending upon age of vessel.rn2. By not using scrubbers and continuing to burn MGO could give an increase of up to 6.5% of greenhouse gases from refineries.rn3. Time between contract signing and expected retro-fit too short.rn4. Time allotted for fitting was insufficient.rn5. Required materials, especially “exotic” piping, to be ordered in a timely manner.rn6. System designer should visit vessel to see how the impact of the size of components will have on available space for free movement of personnel.rn7. System design should be completed before commencing fitting designwork.rn8. With limited space in machinery rooms, routine docking work and retro-fit work hindered one and other.rn9. Despite all the difficulties encountered we were able to fit the system into the limited available space on the vessels.
