What is VLSFO marine fuel?
VLSFO (very low sulfur fuel oil) is marine fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% by mass, in line with IMO 2020. It is used for main and auxiliary engines where low-sulfur bunker fuel is required (e.g. emission control areas or global cap). VLSFO meets ISO 8217 and is supplied from Russian refineries via Black Sea ports.
We also supply RMG 380 (residual marine fuel, higher sulfur where permitted). For full specification and FAQ, see RMG 380 Fuel Oil.
