ExxonMobil Insight: Part 3 - ECA Fuels Storage and Handling [ Video ]
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 full "ExxonMobil Insight" series.
In this third video of the series, ExxonMobil discusses storage and handling considerations for ECA fuels, such as their sensitivity to cross contamination with 3.5% max sulfur non-ECA fuels, which can present challenges not only onboard the vessel, but also during bunkering.
Comingling of some fuels can also lead to operational issues, and can even result in loss of power (LOP) incidents. With this in mind, ExxonMobil also reviews the ISO guidelines for the correct storage and handling of fuels to mitigate these risks.
