IMO 2020 UPDATE
2,052 scrubbers so far The latest scrubber data from DNV GL show an accelerating increase in planned scrubber installations during 2019. The pre-2020 total of scrubber-fitted vessels now stands at 2,052, quickly closing in on our 2,300 forecast. Dry bulk has the majority of this month’s additions. The accelerating uptake for 2019 installation indicates still-available capacity in our view, and our estimate is looking increasingly conservative.
Latest DNV GL numbers show 2,052 installed by end-2019. After increasing its
forecasts for 2019 scrubber uptake by 22% last month, this month’s numbers show a
further 23% increase, to take scheduled scrubber uptake for end-2019 to 2,052.
DNB Markets’ 2,300 forecast starting to look conservative, as 502 scrubbers were
added to the pre-2020 orderbooks during the last month. This is up from the 282
increase last month, and we still have 14 months to go before the regulations kick in.
Dry bulk uptake growth accelerating 2.0x from last month. Dry bulk was
responsible for 51% (255) of the additions in the latest revisions, while 17% (87) was
for tankers and 9% (45) for container ships.
2019 installations balloon 52%, to 1,268, with only 105 booked for 2020. The
latest data show 1,268 scrubber installations are planned for 2019 (up 52%, or 432
units from 836 reported in October), while only 37 additions leave 2020 installations at
105. We see the accelerating growth in 2019 as a sign of still-available capacity, and
are likely to see continued additions ahead, though the minor uptick for 2020 could
indicate tighter pre-2020 scrubber availability.

502 scrubbers added to DNV GL’s end-2019 forecast DNV GL’s updated scrubber uptake data shows a 502 (23%) increase MOM (which is up from
the 282, or 22%, revision for October) in the number of scrubbers scheduled to be fitted by end-
2019. This lifts the total to 2,052 from 1,268 in our initial report on scrubber uptake from 13
September and the 1,550 reported a month ago. This compares to DNB Market’s 2,300
estimate, which now seems rather conservative given that more than 500 scrubbers were added
in a month and we still have 14 months to go, despite reports that the main scrubber producers
are nearing full order books for pre-2020 delivery.
DNV GL’s current number of vessels with scrubbers at year-end and by segment
(including newbuilds)
Source: DNV GL (underlying data), DNB Markets (calculations)
Of all confirmed scrubber orders by end-2019, 76% (up from 71% in our 13 September report)
are scheduled to be installed in the three major shipping segments: dry bulk, tankers, and
container. A still-growing portion of all scrubber orders are confirmed retrofits (now 72%, up
from 62%).
DNV GL’s current number of newbuilds and retrofits (year-end, including newbuilds)
Source: DNV GL (underlying data), DNB Markets (calculations)
DNV GL’s latest forecasts show an accelerating increase in scrubber uptake, but still leave
some upside to our estimate of 2,300 scrubbers installed by early 2020. While 98% of
October revisions were additional scrubbers in the three main segments (dry bulk, tankers,
and container), the November revisions were down to 77% within these segments (12%, or
59 scrubbers were added in the Cruise & Ferry segment).

DNV GL scrubber uptake and remaining upside to DNB
Markets’ early 2020 scrubber estimate by segment
Revisions to DNV GL’s scrubber uptake by end-2019 per
segment since our 13 September report
Source: DNV GL (historical data), DNB Markets (forecasts) Source: DNV GL (underlying data), DNB Markets (calculations)
Since our September report, increases to DNV GL’s data have been disproportionately high
for tankers compared to our forecasts while for dry bulk and container, aggregate growth has
been in line with expectations after the latest revisions.
Tanker additions were roughly flat MOM (0.94x) at 87 additions, dry bulk accelerated rapidly
and nearly doubled the monthly additions to 255 (1.96x), and container growth slowed to 45
additions (0.79x). To reach our forecasts we need just 16 more scrubbers in tankers, 186
more in dry bulk, and 85 more in container.
In scrubber installation capacity, the order book currently indicates 1,268 scrubbers will be
installed during 2019. This is a large increase (52%) from last month’s outlook for 836 after an
addition of 432 for 2019, and contrary to the previous revision showing slowing growth for
2019. However, we are starting to see a marginal increase in uptake for 2020 as well, which
could be an indication that MOM increases for pre-2020 could be slowing in future revisions,
probably due to capacity constraints starting to take effect.
