TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Petroleum - a complex mixture of organic liquids called crude oil and natural gas occurring naturally in the ground - formed millions of years ago.

III. MARINE FUELS (BUNKER FUELS)

Gasoil 0.1%, Fuel Oil 1%, Fuel Oil 3.5%; the grades of fuel used in shipping (ie, ship engines rather than ship cargo)

# Maritime Fuels Process Classification:

  • MGO (Marine Gas Oil): a distillate fuel oil (No. 2, Bunker A), according to:ISO 8217, EN 590,

ASTM D975, DIN EN 14214, ASTM D675

  • MDO (Marine Diesel Oil): a blend of MGO and HFO, ISO 8217, EN 590

  • IFO (Intermediate Fuel Oil): a blend of MGO and HFO, with less gasoil than MDO, ISO 8217, EN 590

  • MFO (Marine/Medium Fuel Oil): a blend of MGO and HFO, with less gasoil than IFO, acording to:ISO 8217, EN 590

  • HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil)-Residual Fuel Oil  (RFO): a residual fuel oil (No. 6, Bunker C) according to: ISO 8217, EN 590, ASTM D396

# Marine Fuels “Bunker ABC” Classification

  • Bunker A corresponds to the distillate “Fuel Oil No. 2”

  • Bunker B is a No. 4/No. 5 blend fuel “Navy Special Fuel Oil” (NSFO), according to:

ASTM D396

  • Bunker C corresponds to the residual fuel oil No. 5 /No. 6 or “Furnance Fuel Oil” (FFO) ASTM D 396, ASTM D 975

 

# Kinematic Viscosity Classification

Distillate Bunker Oils (ISO EN 8217)

Residual Bunker Oils (ISO EN 8217)

 

 

# EU FUELS

The first set of standards for automotive fuels, ratified by CEN on 16 March 1993, had been adopted by all Member States by September 1993.

Three standards cover automotive fuels quality:

the EN 590 for diesel fuel (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel)

the EN 228 for gasoline (Ultra Low Sulphur Petrol),

EN 589 for automotive LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

To provide options for different climates, the EN 590 standard specifies six Temperature Climate Grades of diesel fuel (Grade A...F) which differ in the value.

 

Within the gas oil classification, fuels for on road vehicles (typically with sulfur content below 0.05%) are referred to as “diesel fuels”

While fuels for non road mobile machinery (typically with sulfur content up to 0.2%) are referred to as “gas oils intended for use by non-road mobile machinery (including inland waterway vessels), agricultural and forestry tractors, and recreational craft”.

Nonroad Vehicles

Specifications for reference diesel fuel for the type approval and conformity testing of Stage I/II non road mobile diesel engines are listed in Table 2.1[Directive 97/68/EC].

Reference fuel specifications for Stage III/IV testing are listed in Table 2.2[Directive 2004/26/EC, Directive 2010/26/EC].
