Ready for sulphur limitation

In accordance with MARPOL Annex VI, ships operating in the Baltic and North Sea ECAs will be required to use fuel with sulphur content not exceeding 1.0% instead of the existing 1.5%.

Adrian Tolson, Chemoil’s vice president of sales and marketing, said: “Antwerp and Rotterdam are the key bunker ports in North West Europe and, like other ports in European ECAs, will be monitored in the first few months of the latest SOx limit reduction to ensure adequate supply and pricing of 1.0% sulphur bunker fuel. As one of the largest suppliers, Chemoil is ready to supply both Antwerp and Rotterdam.”

Tolson added. “Chemoil will ensure that 1.0% sulphur bunker fuel is consistently available to our customers in Antwerp and Rotterdam, and we will continue to monitor the supply situation in terms of volume demand.”
