8 gru 2020 · Marine Gas Oil is still one of the most preferred clean fuels used on ships when it comes to curtailing harmful emissions from ships such as Sox and NOx. Find out everything you wanted to know about marine gas oil (MGO) in the article inside.
Efforts to reduce emissions from ships – including stricter regulations about marine fuels’ allowable level of sulphur – are curbing the use of heavy fuel oil (HFO) in the marine shipping industry.
1.1 MARPOL Annex VI contains requirements that apply to fuel oil used on board ships. Regulation 14 of MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on the sulphur content of fuel oil used on board ships, both within designated SOX Emission Control Areas (regulation 14.4) and outside those areas (regulation 14.1).
25 paź 2024 · What is marine gas oil used for? Mostly, marine gas oils are used by small to medium boats, ferries, or tugs that have no space to equip heaters and purifiers to purify HFO. Since MGO is based on lighter distillates, they have low viscosity and can be pumped around 20-40 o C.
This technical topic explains ISO specification 8217, which stipulates acceptable characteristics of marine fuel oil products. In order to understand the relative importance of each characteristic, it is important to understand their definitions.
28 sty 2021 · The upper limit of the sulphur content of ships' fuel oil was reduced to 0.5% (from 3.5% previously) - under the so-called "IMO 2020" regulation prescribed in the MARPOL Convention. This significantly reduces the amount of sulphur oxide emanating from ships.
