    • Abstract:
      A reprint of the article "Older, Fuel-Guzzling Box Ships Bound for Scrapyards As IMO 2020 Looms" that was published in a previous issue of "The Loadstar" is presented. It reports on the willingness of containership owners to offload their fuel-inefficient vessels in compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) low-sulphur fuel regulations in 2020. How the current high scrapping rates proved to be an added incentive for owners to scrap older vessels.
