Fuel Testing

Providing confidence in marine fuels.

Supporting you to source the fuel you need.

Fuel accounts for up to 60% of a ship’s operational costs and quality is vitally important. Off-specification or contaminated fuel can adversely affect performance and cause serious damage.

more difficult, with the added pressure on supply from the current International Maritime Organization (IMO) sulphur 2020 regulation.
