PODCAST DISCUSSES SCRUBBER ECONOMICS

Nov 11, 2026 | Marine environment & clean shipping news, Uncategorised

Clean Shipping Alliance (CSA) Chairman Mike Kaczmarek has joined the Marine Fuels Alliance podcast for a discussion on exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS, or scrubbers) and high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO).

The episode explores why shipowners first adopted scrubbers, how the price differential between HSFO and compliant fuels has evolved, and what these economics mean for existing fleets and newbuild investment decisions. The conversation also addresses fuel flexibility and the environmental debate surrounding scrubber use, bringing together commercial, operational and environmental perspectives.

CSA has thanked the Marine Fuels Alliance for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to an informed exchange on issues affecting shipowners and the wider marine fuels market.

The podcast, Two Alliances – One New Collaboration, can be heard here.
