The supply and use of 0.50% sulphur marine fuel, Joint Industry Guidance
Year: 2019 Language: english Author: Joint Industry Project sponsors Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 64 Description: In October 2016, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) confirmed a global limit for sulphur in fuel oil used on board ships of 0.50% m/m (mass by mass) to become effective on 1 January 2020. Alternatively, ships may continue to use fuels with a higher sulphur content when using an equivalent method of compliance such as an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS). The implementation of this regulation by the IMO will have far-reaching implications throughout the marine fuel supply chain, from refining, through distribution, bunkering, handling and storage on board the ship, through to final use in boilers or in marine diesel engines for propulsion. This document is designed to provide guidance for use across the marine fuels and shipping industries, from fuel blenders and suppliers to end users. It provides a background to the MARPOL Annex VI regulation as it affects the change to a new marine fuel regime; i.e. it presents the specific issues relating to the introduction and use of max. 0.50%-sulphur fuels, an overview of fuel quality principles, and the controls that should be put in place to ensure fuel quality and fitness for safe usage. It addresses issues such as fuel compatibility, fuel stability, and fuel handling and storage, and contains a comprehensive review of existing operational factors that can affect safety. It does not discuss compliance with Flag State, Port State or IMO rules or guidelines, or alternative means of compliance (e.g. EGCS, as mentioned above), and does not include a discussion of other fuels, e.g. liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, methanol, etc.
