TEXTE Environmental Impacts of Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems for Reduction of SOx on Ships — Analysis of status quo 
Report compiled within the framework of the project ImpEx 
the global fleet!, The share of the global DWT and GT are more significant: about 16.8%?2 and 
about 16.3%623, respectively. 
DNV GL (2020) specifies that, from the installation projects, 28% are newbuildings and 72% 
retrofits. Newbuildings are being actually fitted more intensively than existing ships. According 
co Clarksons Research (2019), 2.3% (12.2% GT) of the existing ships are or will be EGCS-fitted, 
while 14.5% (33.1% GT) of the orderbook will be EGCS-fitted. This corresponds with the fact 
that retrofitting on existing ships is more challenging; thus, such an investment should be 
considered for large ships with several operational years left (Lahtinen, 2016). 
Figure 3 shows the market share by ship type. Bulk carriers, tankers and container ships are the 
Cop adopters of the EGCS-technology. That is clearly a different figure when compared with the 
data (Figure 5 in Schmolke et al., 2020) prior to the Global Sulphur Cap 2020, where the cruise 
ships together with RoPax and RoRo vessels dominated the market and were pointed out as first 
adopters after the implementation of the 0.1% sulphur limit in ECAs. Cruise ships are to be 
considered a special case, with 62% (GT) of its global current fleet being EGCS-fitted, but only 
25% (GT) of the orderbook (Clarksons Research, 2019), perhaps due to the adoption of 
alternative compliance fuels.

As of 9 November 2020: 2,788 ships. Source: Raw information obtained from GISIS (IMO, 2017). 
Regarding market share by type of system, Figure 4 shows clearly a dominance of OL systems 
with above 80% of the market, followed by hybrid systems with 15%. The three biggest 
market suppliers are Wärtsilä, Alfa Laval and EcoSpray, which cover around one third of the 
EGCS market (see Appedix A.1). This agrees with DNV GL (2020) that places the same companies 
as market leaders with a similar market share. 
| UNCTAD (2020) reports 96,295 propelled seagoing merchant vessels of 100 GT and above in 2019. 
°, The 2,788 EGCS-fitted ships reported in the GISIS database account for 332.2 million DWT. That number 
divided by the global DWT (1,976.5 million DWT as of UNCTAD, 2020) results in 16.8%. 
} The 2,788 EGCS-fitted ships reported in the GISIS database account for 218.1 million GT. This number 
divided by the global GT (1,341.4 million GT as of UNCTAD, 2020) results in 16.3%.
