Wise use of Open Loop Scrubber system

For open loop type scrubber system, some owners are concerned about extension of ban on washwater discharges in ports. How about you?

Let me tell you “It is wrong understanding, if you think ban area effect
to Scrubber operation. Scrubber is born for using at open sea!!”

A. What is reason to install scrubber system?
    It is to save fuel cost as much as oil spread(USD) x consumption rate(Ton)

B. How much fuel does a vessel use in port(including maneuvering) and open sea?
    ie) Capesize bulk carrier, PCTC, Panamax size(or above) Container carrier.
    Open sea : 30~60ton/day in about 30~40 days(Maximum about 2,000ton)
    Near/In Port : ~ 5ton/day in about 1~3 days(Maximum about 15ton only)

    Maximum consumption rate is less than half day consumption at open sea

C. In port, ship’s crew’s load & unnecessary attention from PSC.
     Cargo operation
     During cargo operation, let ship’s crews focus on cargo operation only without
     additional work load from Scrubber. They are already on additional high work
     load due to operation of Ballast Water Treatment System.(Frequent alarm??!!)

     PSC’s attention
     If Scrubber system is operating, it can draw PSC’s attention.
     Surely, system is OK, but why do we really have to?

In conclusion,
there is a NO REASON to use scrubber system in ports(& maneuvering)!!
