Heavy Fuels, Smart Solutions

The heavy, residual fuels that power ships, plants and heavy industry — supplied across the sulphur grades the market now demands.

  • 0.5%VLSFO sulphur cap (IMO 2020)
  • 3Sulphur grades — HS / VLS / ULS
  • ISO 8217Bunker fuel specification

The heavy residue that powers ships, plants and heavy industry — a lot of energy per barrel at a competitive price.

VLSFO, ULSFO and HSFO, to ISO 8217 — from ≤0.5% sulphur standard to ≤0.1% for ECAs and ≈3.5% for scrubber-fitted vessels.

Why it matters

The workhorse fuel for marine engines, power stations and large boilers. Since IMO 2020 capped marine sulphur, the market split into low- and high-sulphur grades — matching grade to engine or scrubber setup is now central to every deal.

Core checks

Bunker grades like RMG 380, RMK 500, defined by viscosity (cSt at 50 °C), density, flash and pour point, CCAI and water/sediment.

The primary fuel for deep-sea shipping, delivered ship-to-ship or at berth.

Power & heat

Feeding power plants where gas isn't available, and firing industrial boilers and kilns.

VLSFO, ULSFO, HSFO — split by sulphur since IMO 2020 — ≤0.5% standard, ≤0.1% for ECAs, ≈3.5% for scrubber-fitted vessels; bunker grades to ISO 8217.

Stored and pumped heated to stay fluid — dedicated tankage, bunker barge or pipeline delivery; blend stability and compatibility matter.
