Marine Gas Oil (MGO) is a type of distillate fuel used primarily in marine applications. It is designed for ships, boats, and other marine vessels equipped with diesel engines. MGO is lighter and cleaner than heavy fuel oil (HFO), making it a preferred choice for meeting environmental standards in maritime operations.
MGO is refined to have lower sulpher content, which helps reduce emissions and comply with international regulations like the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) MARPOL Annex VI, which sets limits on sulpher emissions from ships. Its clean-burning properties also contribute to better engine performance and reduced maintenance costs.
