Oil majors Shell and Total say they have been working hard to come up with a smorgasbord of IMO 2020-compliant low sulphur fuels so that owners who have elected not to fit scrubbers on their ships will not be left with empty fuel tanks at the beginning of next year.
Representatives of both companies, who took part in the Capital Link Singapore Maritime Forum today, said they were living up to their responsibilities as suppliers to provide solutions to the shipping industry.
