Fuel quality and enviromnment
Fuel quality and environmental readiness

Fuel quality and consistency are fundamental to safe and efficient tanker operations. World Fuel’s Marine Technical team supports fuel purchasers, shipowners, and operators with practical fuel quality guidance and specification review across all grades, and regulatory insight across the geographical regions, and worldwide.

Our marine fuels and lubricants are blended and tested for performance across all conditions, from cold-weather fuel stability to lower carbon compliance in Emission Control Areas (ECAs). 

As the maritime industry works to reduce carbon emissions, we can help shipowners adopt new, lower-emission fuels such as LNG and methanol. For operators seeking performance enhancement and emissions reduction, our range of marine fuel additives can improve combustion, extend engine life, and reduce sludge formation, providing environmental and commercial benefits. 

Managing price and performance
