Vessels-leaders in fuel consumption among all vehicles, marine engines can easily burn heavy fuel oil or gas condensate derivatives. This omnivore allows to reduce transportation costs, but it is not always possible to use cheap fuel. Environmental problems have forced many coastal States to tighten the requirements for the exhaust of the ship’s unit, so there were areas where you can use fuel only with a low sulfur content – no more than 0.1%. Such zones include the Baltic and Northern seas, the ocean coasts of the USA and Canada. For these zones, the ship provides a reserve of more environmentally friendly varieties of hydrocarbons.

Features of refueling

Replenishment of fuel for marine engines is different from refueling cars, refueling complex in the form of a special vessel itself swims up to the client, on Board there are several tanks, with different grades of fuel:

• Naval fuel oil;
• Marine low-viscosity fuel (SMT);
• Gas condensate component of marine fuel (KST);
• Machine oil.

Fuel supply is carried out in accordance with the length of the route and depends on the waters in which the ship will go. Compliance with international environmental legislation and navigation in coastal zones force the shipowner to take on Board several types of fuel. Fuel oil is used mainly for large transitions in the ocean. When approaching the shore, even where there are no strict environmental requirements, switch to light fuels, as the upcoming maneuvers abrupt change of driving mode creates an increased load on the main marine engine.
