5 Solutions 0.10% sulphur Marine Gas Oil (MGO) New ECA Category fuel Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Exhaust abatement technologies 5

6 MGO 0.10% sulphur MGO is widely available Challenges when switching fuels Temperature change could lead to thermal shock which may lead to Loss of Propulsion (LoP) Source: ExxonMobil

7 The new ECA category ECA Category Fuel Low sulphur content typically associated with MGO Higher viscosity typically found in HFO Lower volatility properties typically found in HFO Reduces risk of engine and boiler damage 7

8 The new ECA fuel category Sulphur content: maximum of 0.10 percent Viscosity: minimum of 12cSt Flash point: minimum of 70 0 C Different formulations due to refinery configurations 8

9 Marine fuel stability Fuel stored for long periods can become unstable. The asphaltene content can cause sludge build up Filters and pipes can become blocked with un-pumpable residue Source: ExxonMobil

10 Marine fuel compatibility Avoid mixing fuels from different sources and formulations to avoid incompatibility Incompatibility problems can result in: Power failure Paralysed fuel systems Timely and costly clean-up Source: ExxonMobil

11 Testing regimes Fuel stability testing 3 lab tests in ISO 8217 : 2012 Total Sediment Existent (TSE): ISO Total Sediment Potential (TSP): ISO (Thermal Aging) Total Sediment Accelerated (TSA): ISO (Chemical Aging) Fuel compatibility testing (on board) American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) D4740 spot test 11

12 ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 Heavy Distillate marine fuel Guaranteed to ISO 8217: 2012 RMD 80 Good compatibility except with high asphaltene fuels Available in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp (ARA) & Hamburg via barge delivery NOL - MAN Diesel & Turbo Crude oil Distillates Residual products Source: ExxonMobil 12

13 ExxonMobil Premium AFME 200 Advanced Fuel oil (residual) Guaranteed to ISO 8217: 2012 RME 180 Compatible with ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 and MGO Available from port of Southampton (U.K.) via barge delivery Source: ExxonMobil Source: ExxonMobil

14 The impact on lubrication

15 The lubrication challenge with high TBN 15

16 The lubrication challenge with high TBN 16

17 What's on the horizon 2020/25?

18 IMO fuel availability review IMO decision to start fuel availability review Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) May 2015 Terms of reference agreed Target completion ahead of October 2016 MEPC meeting 18

19 IMO fuel availability review Refining considerations: Complex integrated business fuels and products Introduction of global S cap Study to consider impact on refining products Investment decisions made by individual refiners Consider refinery investment plans Are assumptions realistic?
