With Malaysia’s recent decision to ban open-loop scrubbers, the number of ports around that has issued the ban has risen to more than 80. Around 80 percent of the scrubber systems installed on ships so far are open-loop. There are also a limited number of hybrid designs being installed that can switch between the two systems, although these are some 30 percent more expensive than open-loop scrubbers.
