Overview

VLSFO is the standard bunker fuel for international commercial shipping. Formulated to balance high energy output with strict international environmental regulations, our VLSFO guarantees efficient propulsion while protecting marine ecosystems along the West African coast.

With the transition toward cleaner marine fuels, our VLSFO can help contribute to environmental sustainability in the shipping industry while offering several benefits. These include:

• Reduced Sulphur Emissions: VLSFO helps to protect marine ecosystems and coastal communities from pollution by significantly lowering Sulphur emissions. There is also a decreased emission of particulate matter and Sulphur Oxides (SOx), providing crew members and coastal residents with cleaner air quality.
• Compatibility: Suitability, storage segregation and changeover requirements are subject to the vessel's fuel-management procedures and engine/equipment manufacturer requirements.
• Cost-Effective: While more expensive than high-sulphur fuels, it remains cost-effective when compared to other compliant options like Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

Specifications

• Marine Fuel Standard: ISO 8217:2024, applicable residual fuel grade
• MARPOL: Annex VI, Regulation 14
• Sulfur: 0.50% m/m maximum for conventional global-limit compliant fuel
• Kinematic viscosity: declared according to supplied ISO grade
• Density at 15°C

Applications

The primary propulsion fuel for large ocean-going vessels, including container ships, bulk carriers, and oil tankers calling at Ghanaian ports.

Delivery & Logistics
