24APR2019 - NEWS - BP Prepared to supply IMO 2020 fuel in Los Angeles

The only supplier on the US west coast that has announced availabilities so far is BP, at its refinery in Seattle, Washington. other suppliers Peninsula, Aegean and Glencore, may confirm their preparedness closer to 1st January 2020.

Peninsula, Aegean and Glencore, have historically relied on relatively inexpensive Mexican high-sulphur residual fuel oil barrels to sell in Los Angeles for bunkering. But the fuel will be too high in sulphur to feasibly blend down to the required 0.5pc sulphur limit as required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
