ExxonMobil has started supply of its 0.50% sulfur VLSFO bunkers in the Singapore and ARA (Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp) markets, reports Ship & Bunker.
Globally compatible EMF.5
- The Energy Major first announced the fuels last year, highlighting that all its 0.50% VLSFO has global compatibility.
- In July it branded its new IMO 2020 grade fuel offering as “EMF.5” to differentiate its offering from the competition.
Quality is the major concern
“We’re not doing this for ourselves, we’re doing this for our customers. And I think it’s important for us to do this now in an industry that continues to highlight quality as a major concern,” said Luca Volta, Marine Fuels Venture Manager.
The EMF.5 fuels are actually a range of fuels with slightly different characteristics depending on which part of the world they originate. But all will be sold against the ISO 8217:2017 specification.
