DFDS finds criticism of scrubbers lightweight

In a recent position paper, NABU strongly criticised the use of scrubbers to reduce sulphur emissions from ocean-going vessels. At DFDS, which has already equipped 14 of its ships with such an installation to wash exhaust gases (pictured) and continues to invest in that technology, it refutes the reading the German environmental organisation makes of the report it commissioned from CE Delft. NABU’s view is not in line with what the report itself says, says Gert Jakobsen, vice president communications of the Danish shipping and logistics group.
