TAIWAN's container line Evergreen Group has taken delivery of its latest large scrubber-fitted box ship.

Samsung Heavy Industries delivered the 15,372 TEU Ever Most at the end of December, according to container industry intelligence provider Alphaliner.

The ship is the 12th in a series of 20 conventionally fuelled and scrubber-fitted Evergreen 'M-class' vessels, reports Vancouver's Ship & Bunker.

"Initially ordered without bow windscreens, Evergreen has apparently decided to have the last seven units of the series delivered with such devices, starting with the Ever Macro," Alphaliner said.

"The Ever Most however, still comes without a wind deflector on the forecastle."

Scrubber installations on newbuid vessels have been continuing to gather pace in 2024, particularly in the container segment, while remaining rarer in retrofits. The trend is leading to high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) taking a growing share of global bunker demand.
