The bunker debate heats up

Article Abstract:

Shipowners and bunker suppliers are immersed in another dispute regarding how much additives will fuel oil tolerate. Lloyds Register's Fuel Oil Bunker Analysis and Advisory service wants the adoption of prudent and reasonable procedures if automotive lubricating oil additives are detected. Meanwhile, Det Norske Veritas Petroleum Services, a major player in the bunker testing market, believes that there is no substantial effect on fuel performance if small amounts of used lubricants in marine fuels are present.
