Finnish technology group Wartsila has revealed a €170m ($198m) deal to outfit a boxship fleet with scrubbers.

The unnamed European line has ordered hybrid exhaust gas cleaning equipment and retrofit services.

Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) is said to be the owner behind the order, according to some sources. The boxships to be outfitted with scrubbers would likely operate out of the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub, which would provide MSC with long-term storage and supply sources for high-sulphur bunker fuel.
