Neptune Lines has joined the growing group of well-known Greek shipowners installing scrubbers on its vessels to comply with the IMO’s 2020 sulphur cap.

The car-carrier owner plans to have 10 ships fitted with hybrid-ready scrubbers by early next year, the Melina Travlos-controlled company said on its website.

Installation work has already been completed on the first two vessels — the 3,800-ceu Neptune Galene and Neptune Thalassa (both built 2014).
