DryDel Shipping, a Greek dry bulk shipowner, has secured a charter for four scrubber-fitted Capesize bulk carriers. These vessels, the first of their kind for DryDel, will be built by Japan's Namura Shipbuilding. The four ships will operate under five-year charters and are designed to comply with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) global 0.5% sulfur cap.
Despite burning high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), the scrubber technology will allow these vessels to meet the stringent emissions standards. DryDel entered the Capesize segment in December 2024 with orders for two 182,000 dwt vessels to be delivered in 2028, followed by another two for delivery in 2029. Currently, at least three vessels in DryDel's fleet, including Utopia, Rio Rita, and Gloria del Mare, are fitted with scrubbers.
