About Fuel Oil (VLSFO)
VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) is a marine fuel meeting ISO 8217 specifications, containing maximum 0.50% sulfur content, developed to comply with International Maritime Organization regulations. Primary applications include powering ocean-going vessels, cargo ships, and large commercial marine fleets. Internationally traded VLSFO is categorized by viscosity grades, primarily 380 cSt and 180 cSt at 100°C, with 380 cSt dominating bunker markets. Major producing regions include Singapore, Rotterdam, Houston, and the Middle East, with Singapore serving as the world's largest bunkering hub. Buyers should verify sulfur content certification and compatibility with existing fuel treatment systems, as VLSFO's lower sulfur content requires enhanced fuel stability monitoring to prevent sediment accumulation.
