Abstract
Current and foreseen marine fuel legislation is targeted towards prescribing the maximum sulfur content of fuel oil or to reduce the sulfur in exhaust gases with alternative methods equivalently.The availability of fuels with various sulfur levels is not yet fully clear. However, with the demand to reduce the sulfur content in the fuel to below 0.5%, the possibility of an operator receiving distillate fuel increases. Hence, operators need to be prepared to use distillate fuel correctly.
