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 2020 2 www. intertek. com
Fuel Standards – ISO 8217: 2010 & 2012 • ISO 8217: 2010 - 4 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: 2012 5 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 www. intertek. com

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 500 ppm (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 www. intertek. com
Residual Fuels – Quality Issues • 1. 00% Sulphur residual fuel provided a number of challenges: • Lower Sulphur specs = Increased blending • This leads to increased use of blend / cutter stocks • This can lead to increased problems: 1. high levels of Cat Fines within fuels 2. Increased stability related issues 3. Increased frequency of instances of “Chemical Contamination”. 6 www. intertek. com
Residual Fuels – Quality Issues • After 2015 – No 1. 00% Fuel!! • No Intensive blending = Reduction in issues associated with HFO!! 7 www. intertek. com
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: § § § 8 Lubricity Issues Reduced Oxidation Stability Poor combustion characteristics Possible presence of FAME Reduced Flash point www. intertek. com
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. 9 www. intertek. com
