ExxonMobil has developed a series of videos in which it examines the impact that ECA regulations have had on the use and management of marine fuel and lubricants.

Ship & Bunker has partnered with ExxonMobil to bring you the entire "ExxonMobil Insight" series.

In this fifth and final part of the series, ExxonMobil looks at the process of changing between high and low sulphur fuels as vessels move in and out of Emission Control Areas.

Fuel switching is a complex and very controlled procedure, and one that can differ from vessel to vessel depending on engine type, machinery, and set up. Not only do operators have to make sure they are burning the right kind of fuel when they enter the ECA, they are also dealing with two potentially incompatible fuel types.
