This low-sulphur fuel oil changeover calculator is designed to assist ship operators in managing the transition between high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) and low sulphur fuel oil (LSFO) when entering Sulphur Oxide Emission Control Areas (ECA-SOx).
The calculator simulates the blending process of these fuels to ensure compliance with MARPOL Annex VI regulations, which aim to reduce sulphur oxide and particulate emissions from ships. This tool is designed to support onboard decision-making, helping ship operators achieve smooth and compliant fuel transitions in emission control areas.
Feature:
- Helping to determine the time required to transition from high sulphur fuel oil to low sulphur fuel oil, ensuring compliance with sulphur emission regulations.
- Simulating a linear blending process, providing an estimated time from the complete shut-off of the HSFO service tank to achieving the required sulphur content in the fuel system.
Usage Instructions:
- Fill in all required data fields, including fuel consumption rates and sulphur content values.
- Select the desired sulphur limit from the drop-down menu or input a custom value.
- The calculator will provide the estimated changeover time.
