Frontline has ordered 12 more exhaust gas cleaning systems for installation aboard its tankers taking its total scrubber commitment to 20 ships.

The devices have been ordered from Feen Marine Scrubbers, in which Frontline acquired a 20% ownership stake in June 2018.

“Following the committed installations, over 40% of our owned fleet will be equipped with scrubbers,” said Frontline chief executive Robert Hvide Macleod.
