VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil)

Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) is a type of marine fuel that contains significantly lower levels of sulfur compared to traditional fuels. It was introduced to meet international regulations aimed at reducing air pollution from ships, particularly in oceans and coastal areas. The reduced sulfur content helps decrease harmful emissions, which can contribute to acid rain and respiratory issues. VLSFO is typically used in large vessels such as cargo ships and tankers, ensuring they run efficiently while being more environmentally friendly. Using VLSFO supports efforts to protect marine ecosystems and improve air quality.
