0,10% m/m sulphur fuels for SECA areas
Due to the new sulphur emission legislation being valid since 01.01.2015 in the specified SECA
areas many new max. 0,10% m/m sulphur content fuels have entered the market. Some of
these fuels are not pure distillate fuels, but contain new refinery streams, like hydrocracker
bottoms or can also be blends of distillate and residual fuels.
The new 0,10% m/m sulphur fuels are called as Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oils (ULSFO) or “hybrid”
fuels, since those can contain properties of both distillate and residual fuels. In the existing
ISO 8217:2017(E) standard the fuels are classed as RMA 10, RMB 30 or RMD 80, if not fulling
the DM grade category requirements, though from their properties point of view this is generally
not an optimum approach. These fuels can be used in the Wärtsilä® 46F engine type, but
special attention shall be paid to optimum operating conditions. See also Services Instruction
WS02Q312.
