Fuel is the second largest running cost of a ship, and its quality can vary significantly around the world. It’s critical that you can validate your fuel quality and quantity, and manage it safely, from the start.
When it comes to fuel-related problems, prevention is better than cure
Off-specification or contaminated fuel can put the safety, operational and environmental performance of ships at risk. While you may not have yet experienced an adverse effect on performance or serious damage to your fleet, you may not want to take the risk of potentially costly downtime. Particularly as, on average, ship operators and wider stakeholders report an average of 2.8 quality issues that result in lost time per year.
