What is Marine Gas Oil (MGO)?

Marine Gas Oil (MGO) is a type of marine fuel oil used in ship engines and generators. It's a lighter distillate fuel compared to Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), offering cleaner burning properties and lower sulfur content, making it compliant with international maritime emission regulations.

Key Characteristics of MGO:

• Low Sulfur Content: Typically contains less than 0.5% sulfur
• Marine Diesel: Often referred to as marine diesel or marine gasoil
• Clean Burning: Produces fewer emissions than heavy fuel oils
• Port Compliance: Required in many emission control areas (ECAs)
• Engine Protection: Provides better lubrication and engine performance

MGO vs Other Marine Fuels:

MGO Advantages:

• Lower emissions
• Better engine performance
• ECA compliance
• Easier handling

Compared to HFO:

• Higher cost per ton
• Lower viscosity
• Less pre-heating required
• Environmental compliance
