RCL Advanced Emissions Purification Systems Selection

2

Project Realities

Advanced Emissions Purification = “Scrubbers” or Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS)

Selecting our vendors, both supplier and integrators was no accident This is a significant capital project Has potential for substantial guest, crew and operational impacts Must be “Fit For Purpose” not just type-approved Vast majority of the work to be done in service Guest, crew and contractor safety will not be compromised!

Financial Considerations Capital investment is a 9 figure sum Operating costs must be minimized Despite recent fuel price drop, ROI still there as MGO vs IFO premium is still

around $200 - $350 per ton location dependent
