石油设备网讯 据烃加工在线6月17日消息，一位贸易消息人士称，以色列Oil Refineries公司(ORL)最近交付了首批批含硫量为0.5%的船用燃料，满足了国际海事组织（IMO）即将实施的新规定。
消息人士称，这家总部位于海法的炼油厂5月底首次装载了3万吨超低硫380厘沲的混合燃料，该炼油厂的设计炼油能力为19.7万桶/日。
根据IMO旨在减少空气污染的规定，从2020年开始，船舶将被要求使用硫含量不超过0.5%的燃料，含硫量标准远低于目前的3.5%。
近几个月来，几家炼油商开发了新的船舶燃料，以符合新规定，因为预计船运商将在2020年前开始转向新规定。
石油巨头埃克森美孚、雪佛龙、英国石油(BP)和荷兰皇家壳牌也表示，它们正在开发非常低硫的燃料，以满足0.5%的要求。

Israel's ORL delivers first cargo of IMO-spec marine fuel
Israel’s Oil Refineries (ORL) recently delivered its first cargo of 0.5% sulfur content marine fuel, complying with incoming new IMO rules, a trading source said.
The Haifa-based 197,000 barrel per day refinery loaded its first 30,000-tonne cargo of the ultra-low sulfur, 380 centistoke blend in late May, the source said.
Ships will be required to use fuels with a sulfur 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.
Several refiners have in recent months developed new marine fuels to comply with the new regulation as shippers are expected to start shifting to the new specification ahead of 2020.
Oil majors Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP and Royal Dutch Shell have also said they are developing very low sulfur fuels to meet the 0.5% requirement.
