全球禁用开式脱硫塔国家(港口)清单(截止2024年6月1日)
近年来,绿色环保概念火遍全球,新能源势不可挡,全世界都在讲绿色环保新能源电动汽车等,中国作为负责任的大国,更是走在最前沿(链接→:外交部:中国将用历史上最短的时间完成全球最大碳强度降幅)航运业也不甘示弱,LNG双燃料船、甲醇燃料船、氨气燃料船、新能源加注相关新闻经常霸榜。
但是,大多数现有商船还是传统能源,低硫油有关的排放控制区也是越来越多越来越严(链接→:新的ECA知多少?现有多少ECA区?),所以脱硫塔应运而生。然而好多国家和地区禁用开式脱硫塔,何也?
细说的话,由于船舶燃油中含有硫元素,其燃烧后转化为船舶废气中的硫氧化物,硫氧化物可能对建筑、土壤、水体及人体等产生危害。为降低硫氧化物对环境的危害,IMO规定自2020年1月1日起在全球范围内,船舶使用燃油的硫含量百分比不得超过0.50%。
为了满足IMO的限硫令,船舶可采取三种方案:一是直接使用低硫燃油作为燃料。二是继续使用高硫燃油作为燃料,同时加装船舶废气清洗系统(ExhaustGasCleaningSystem,EGCS),通过EGCS对燃油燃烧后的废气进行洗涤,达到除去废气中硫氧化物的目的;三是使用LNG液化天然气、甲醇、液氨、电等清洁能源,实现硫氧化物零排放。而双燃料海员也缺,怪不得看朋友圈北京鑫裕盛旗下的武汉新海联T11、T12培训火爆,青岛新海联也横空出世,应运而生(链接→:海员培训,一个10亿美元的大市场出现了!)。
如上所述,由于大多数现有商船还是使用传统能源,很多用了上述方案二:装EGCS。EGCS按工作模式可分为开式洗涤塔(Openloopscrubbers)和闭式洗涤塔(Closeloopscrubbers)、混合式几种类型,
由于开式系统的组成较为简单,目前绝大多数船东都选择的是开式系统。据悉,现在约80%船舶安装的是开式脱硫塔,
但是,EGCS开式系统也存在问题,包括能量消耗大、污染被转移、会导致海洋酸化、有全球禁用的风险。由于开式系统涉嫌污染转移,以及在港区内大量排放酸性液体,对港区造成环境污染等因素,所以很多港口禁止在港口内使用开式脱硫塔。
船上实际操作中,难免因为过失、信息不及时等原因,到港未合法使用脱硫塔,导致罚款甚至耽误船期。特此整理禁用开放式脱硫塔(Open-LoopScrubbers)的国家和港口名单,以大洲为单位,数据截止到6月1日,供参考。
特别强调,安装脱硫塔的船舶进入任何国家或领土的领海时,请与当地代理联系,以确脱硫塔的使用符合当地最新要求。文末还有5条强调。
