Energy major Shell is offering its existing shipowner and charterer customers the chance to test its new 2020-compliant marine fuel oil.
The company said its global marine fuels network has completed testing of its new 0.50% very low sulphur marine fuel oil (VLSFO).
"Shell has successfully completed initial trials for the blend, and tests are now available in Rotterdam, Singapore and New Orleans to ship owners and charterers currently purchasing fuel with Shell who are seeking to use VLSFO to meet the new specification change," the major said.
