IndianOil on Wednesday (9 October) said it has launched two new marine fuel grades and a lubricant range at Bunker ConFab 2019, an international bunker meet recently held at Mumbai.
The new range of fuel grades are in line with IMO 2020, the new International Maritime Regulation (IMO) regulation limiting the sulphur content from the current 3.5% to 0.5%, it says.
The new marine fuels shall be available at Indian ports from mid – October 2019.
The new range lubricants have been specially formulated with lower reserve alkalinity, to suit low sulphur IMO 2020 fuels.
“The international bunker meet was attended by ship owners and bunker trading companies from India, as well as world's top two major bunkering hubs Singapore & Fujairah,” it stated.
“IndianOil's decision to launch IMO 2020 compliant marine fuels & lubricants was well applauded by the global shipping and oil industry representatives conveying that such decision has put India on the global map of ship bunkering as a trusted bunkering destination.”
