01 Product
Gasoil / Gas Oil supply overview
ALGHAF MARINE FZCO supplies bulk gasoil, also written as gas oil, for qualified industrial, power-generation and heating buyers under FOB and CIF terms.
Available programs may include 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% sulfur grades, subject to cargo specification, origin, allocation, destination and shipment window.
Non-sanctioned origin gasoil is available for selected cargo programs.
02 Grades
Gasoil 0.1% — low sulfur gas oil
Gasoil 0.1% is a low-sulfur middle distillate grade with a maximum sulfur level of 0.10% mass, equivalent to 1,000 ppm.
It is traded for industrial, heating, power-generation and other applications according to the applicable regional and contractual specification.
Final density, viscosity, flash point, cold-flow properties and other acceptance parameters are confirmed for each cargo through the commercial specification and CoA.
Gasoil 0.1% vs Marine Gas Oil (MGO)
A sulfur level of 0.1% does not make industrial gasoil into Marine Gas Oil. MGO is a marine distillate, typically requested as ISO 8217 DMA / MGO 0.1%.
Gasoil 0.5% and 1.0% sulfur grades
Gasoil 0.5%
Gasoil with sulfur up to 0.50% may be evaluated for industrial fuel, heating, power-generation and other contract-specific applications where the applicable regulations and equipment specification permit.
Gasoil 1.0%
Gasoil with sulfur up to 1.00% may be evaluated for industrial process heat, boilers, power-generation and other applications where the contractual specification and local requirements permit.
| Grade | Maximum sulfur | Positioning |
|---|---|---|
| Gasoil / Gas Oil 0.1% | 0.10% mass / 1,000 ppm | Low-sulfur gasoil for industrial, power, heating and contract-specific applications |
| MGO 0.1% | See marine sheet | Marine Gas Oil (MGO) — not industrial gasoil 0.1% |
| Gasoil 0.5% | 0.50% mass / 5,000 ppm | Industrial, heating, power and contract-specific fuel applications |
| Gasoil 1.0% | 1.00% mass / 10,000 ppm | Industrial process heat, boilers, power and approved higher-sulfur applications |
Gasoil for power generation, heating & industrial use
Power generation
Gasoil is used in generator and power-generation programs where the applicable engine, sulfur and fuel-quality requirements are met.
Heating
Gas oil is also traded for commercial and industrial heating applications, with sulfur and cold-flow requirements depending on the destination market and applicable specification.
Industrial fuel
Industrial users may specify gasoil for boilers, process heat and other middle-distillate fuel applications according to plant requirements.
Gasoil vs diesel / EN590
Gasoil and automotive diesel are both middle distillate petroleum products, but they are not automatically interchangeable commercial grades.
EN590 diesel is supplied against the applicable road-diesel specification, including a 10 ppm sulfur limit and other defined fuel-quality parameters.
Gasoil may be traded under different sulfur, density, cold-flow and application specifications depending on grade and destination.

03 Origin
Non-sanctioned origin gasoil
ALGHAF MARINE FZCO can offer non-sanctioned origin gasoil for selected 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% cargo programs.
Origin and loading location are transaction-specific and depend on grade, specification, allocation, destination and shipment window.
Final origin and loading point are confirmed in the applicable commercial offer, SPA and cargo documentation.
Loading location does not by itself determine product origin.
04 Specification
Gasoil specifications & cargo-specific CoA
There is no single universal gasoil specification covering every sulfur grade, origin and application. Final acceptance is based on the contracted quality table and cargo-specific Certificate of Analysis.

What is gasoil used for?
Depending on grade and specification, gasoil may be used for power generation, industrial fuel, heating and generators. Marine distillate is covered separately as Marine Gas Oil (MGO).
Can gasoil be supplied under FOB and CIF terms?
Yes. FOB and CIF structures may be evaluated according to sulfur grade, specification, origin, quantity, destination, allocation and shipment window.
What affects the price of gasoil?
Gasoil pricing depends on sulfur grade, quality specification, origin, market basis, quantity, loading point, delivery basis, destination and shipment window.
How do I request a gasoil commercial quotation?
Provide the required sulfur grade (0.1%, 0.5% or 1.0%), quantity, destination, delivery basis and shipment window. For MGO, use the Marine Gas Oil sheet. Following qualification, ALGHAF MARINE FZCO can evaluate the applicable cargo program and current commercial terms.
How can a buyer verify a petroleum supplier?
Buyers should verify the legal identity of the contractual counterparty, official corporate communication channels, KYC/KYB information, transaction documentation and the contractual inspection procedure. Cargo-specific operational and inspection documents are provided according to the milestones defined in the SPA.
Can you provide previous Bills of Lading or inspection reports as proof of supply?
ALGHAF MARINE FZCO does not disclose confidential documents from unrelated customer transactions as proof of a new cargo. Cargo-specific documentation, including independent inspection documents where applicable, is provided according to the milestones defined in the SPA.
