Test and treat your fuels for IMO 2020

Changing over to new fuels is just the first step. We know how to keep you compliant in the long run.

IMO 2020

With IMO 2020, a 0.5% sulphur cap has taken effect and many shipowners have changed fuels to remain compliant. But switching over to new fuel brings about various unforeseen challenges. Routine fuel testing and treating can mitigate the risks that come with your choice of fuel.

Problem

Sludge and sediments form over time and settle at the side and bottom of your vessel bunker tanks. If these impurities are not removed, there are huge risks associated when mixing in new IMO 2020 compliant fuel. You will face fuel compatibility issues, damage to the engine and machinery and other operational risks.
