2 Sulphur Regulations Marpol Annex VI Marpol Annex VI introduced 19 th May 2005 First major step in regulating marine emissions Introduced emission restrictions on a regional & global level ECAs - As far as requirements within an ECA are concerned, the sulphur content of fuel oil used on board ships shall not exceed the following limits: 0.10% m/m on and after 1 st January 2015 Global Regulations - The Sulphur content of any fuel oil used on board ships shall not exceed the following limits: 0.50% on or after the 1 st January

3 Fuel Standards ISO 8217:2010 & 2012 ISO 8217: th Edition marine standard was released 15/06/2010. The 2010 edition was based on the previous 2005 spec but with a number of changes to reflect the development of the industry and to ensure fuel quality. Residuals Changes to residual grading and grade requirements Additional test parameters H 2 S Distillates Changes to distillate grades and grade requirements Additional test parameters Lubricity, Oxidation Stability & H 2 S ISO 8217: th Edition marine standard was released 15/08/2012 The revision was based on the ISO 8217:2010 spec but updated to take into account the precision data for Hydrogen Sulphide analysis of distillate fuels and changes to Pour Point requirements for DMX grade fuel. 3

4 Fuel Standards ISO 8217:2010 & 2012 ISO vs 2010 / % of ISO 8217 : 2005 Samples % of ISO 8217 : 2010 / 2012 Samples 20 0 Q Q Q Q Q Q Fuel Spec Q Q Q Q Q Q % of ISO 8217 : 2005 Samples % of ISO8217 : 2010 / 2012 Samples

5 Why buy ISO 8217 : 2012? Greater protection for owners / operators! Additional tests, such as Lubricity and Oxidation Stability give greater insight into potential concerns. Lubricity analysis for distillate fuels if sulphur level below 500ppm (0.05% m/m) ULS MGO can have greatly reduced lubricant properties as a result of treatment processes Oxidation Stability - Measures inherent stability of distillate products Reduced stability can be as a result of additional treatment processes or through the presence of bio-derived material. 5

6 Lubricity ISO , IP450 6

7 Distillate Fuels Quality Issues? 2015 ECA 0.10% = increased demand for distillate product. Not all distillate fuels are low Sulphur; therefore lower Sulphur content requires additional treatment processes Treatment processes can have a detrimental effect on final fuel quality causing issues such as: Lubricity Issues Reduced Oxidation Stability Poor combustion characteristics Possible presence of FAME Reduced Flash point 7

8 Distillate Fuels Quality Issues? Widespread issues relating to lubricity, oxidation stability etc. have yet to be seen. However, some issues with Cold Flow Properties have been noted. Cloud Point - temperature at which the distillate fuel becomes slightly opaque in appearance - wax crystals begin to come out of solution. Cold Filter Plugging Point - is defined as the highest temperature at which a given volume of fuel will fail to pass through a standardized filtration device in a specified time, when cooled under specified conditions. Pour Point - is stated as being the lowest temperature at which oil ceases to flow upon cooling. 8

15 Hybrid Fuels. New fuels designed to meet the 0.10% max Sulphur ECA limit. Typical test properties of products examined show a strong similarity to low viscosity residual products. Tested density in the region of kg/m³ Viscosity in the region of cst Low overall metal content High Pour Point Possible compatibility issues? 15

19 2015 Fuel Quality Significant change in buying / analysis patterns since end 2014 / beginning Overall improvement in quality removal of 1.00% m/m sulphur fuels. A significant reduction in traditional quality issues. An increase in different quality issues. Wider use of Hybrid fuels. THANK YOU. 19
