Navigate Changes in the Marine Industry with Innospec
Today’s market depends more than ever on the reliability and efficiency of marine engines. Environmental legislation is
putting pressure on ship owners, managers, and operators to reduce emissions and move to much lower sulphur fuels –
whether this is the traditional residual heavy fuel oil, or marine distillate.
New legislation from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on Emission Control Areas is changing the fuels used
by the shipping industry. The drive to introduce marine fuels with increasingly lower sulphur content – both HFO and
distillate grades – is presenting a challenge for the marine industry.
Whether you are staying with HFO or changing to marine diesel fuels, Innospec has the solution. From 1 January 2020, there
will be a mandatory requirement to use marine fuels with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5% by mass. In preparation for
this requirement, storage tanks and fuel handing systems need to be ready to accept compliant fuel. For the most up to date
news, visit IMO 2020.
We understand these challenges facing the industry and can provide you with the next generation of fuel additives. Our
knowledge of the marine fuels industry is unrivaled. Innospec has a long history in heavy fuel oils and we understand the
industry is changing. As the world’s only fuel additive manufacturer focused solely on fuel additives, we understand the
