石油设备网讯 据路透社6月5日报道，雪佛龙公司的一名代表周三表示，该公司计划在第三季度末将符合国际海事组织标准的0.5%硫磺运输燃料混合物推向市场。
根据国际海事组织旨在减少空气污染的规定，将从2020年初开始要求船舶使用含硫量不超过0.5%的燃料，即含硫量低于目前的3.5%。
雪佛龙燃油技术专家莫尼克·费尔梅雷在一次行业会议上告诉路透社，“如果航运公司愿意现在就试用，我们可以提供，但航运公司不能持续购买。”。
根据国际海事组织的规定，只有装有硫磺清洁装置(即洗涤器)的船只才允许继续燃烧高硫燃料。新加坡、阿拉伯联合酋长国的富查伊拉和荷兰的鹿特丹等主要燃料补给港预计将有合规的燃料供应，但分析师和船运公司指出，人们对较小港口的情况感到担忧。

Chevron readying IMO-compliant shipping fuel sales
OSLO Chevron plans to bring an IMO-compliant 0.5% sulphur shipping fuel blend to the market by the end of the third quarter, a company representative said on Wednesday.
Ships will be required to use fuels with a sulphur content of no more than 0.5% from the start of 2020, down from 3.5% currently, under International Maritime Organization (IMO) rules aimed at cutting air pollution.
"If the shipping company is willing to try it out now we can make it available, but not for continuous purchase," Chevron Fuels Technologist Monique Vermeire told Reuters at an industry conference.
only ships fitted with sulphur-cleaning devices, known as scrubbers, will be allowed to continue burning high-sulphur fuel, under IMO regulations.While major fuel bunkering ports such as Singapore, Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates and Rotterdam in the Netherlands are expected to have compliant-fuel supplies, analysts and shipping firms point to concerns over what happens at smaller ports.
