21MAY2019 - NEWS - Compatible marine fuel will be made-to-order: Total

French refiner Total will produce 0.5pc sulphur fuel oil to meet the 2020 marine fuel regulation, but it will not be compatible with fuel from other suppliers unless specially made to order.

Fuels that are compatible with product from other suppliers are more expensive and therefore less marketable. But the varying 0.5pc sulphur bunker specifications that will be offered in 2020 is raising compatibility concerns for shipowners.
