Singapore is to extend the use of mass-flow-metering (MFM) to low sulphur bunker fuels from next year, it has been confirmed.
The technology will be mandatory for the supply of distillates from 1 July 2019, six months ahead of the IMO’s 2020 sulphur cap.
Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) assistant chief executive (operations) Captain M Segar announced the move at the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) Asia Gala Dinner on Thursday.
