Importance of inventory management
Frans Horjus, global marine lubricants manager at ExxonMobil, highlighted that inventory management as part of IMO 2020 is just as important for lubes as it is for new fuels.
“The switch to a low-sulphur future will require careful stock management. As part of this procedure, vessel operators should work with fuel and lubricant suppliers that possess the technical skills to help them manage the switchover process.”
