Fuel el C Categ egories es

• MSC has three categories of “fuel”:
• Bunker: used for propulsion and auxiliary equipment
• Cargo: transferred to other entities (ships, fuel depots etc)
• Aviation: can be used for onboard equipment or transferred

Bunker Cargo Aviation Additives No Additives

3 Tenets to Ensuring Good Quality:

• Pre-delivery spec sheet review
• Clear and Bright Samples
• In-line Fuel Sampling & additive

Clea ear a and Bright

Clear & Bright (distillate only)

• Sample each tank/barge/truck
• FROM THE BOTTOM!!!
• Perform visual inspection for:
• Sediment and water
• If C&B fails:
• Reject the fuel
• If already started, cease fueling
• Master notify Area and Oper.

Cmdr.

• Annotate BDN that C&B failed
• Collect a sample and send to lab

with remark “fails to meet C&B”

In In-line S Sampling

In-line fuel sampling

Get equipment Follow Process Maintain your records

*Not on contract **On FOLO contract

REQUIRED!!!

N7 N7

In In-line S Sampling

Sampling Process

• Draw Primary
• Taken at ship inlet manifold
• Continuous drip
• 4 Representative Samples
• 1 for MARPOL, 1 for vendor
• 1 shore-side lab, 1 for re-test
• Sealed, labeled and mailed
• 4 spots for seals: ship, vendor,

surveyor, and other

• Ensure information is accurate,

fuel type, date, port etc.

• WAIT for results

N7 N7

In In-line S Sampling

Sample Analysis and Results

• Lab Receives/Processes-3 days
• Results uploaded to FAS
• Results assessed, msg sent -2 days
• WAIT for results

Fuel el T Trea eatmen ents

AMERSTAT 25

• Biocide Treatment – dose automatically , every fuel evolution
• 1 liter per 25 tons of fuel
• Distillate fuels only

AMERGY XLS

• Fuel lubricity additive
• 1 liter per 3 tons of fuel
• Contains dispersants and detergents
• Dosing based on Wearscar reading

AMERGIZE

• Improves combustion and limits production of deposits
• Dosing based on MCR, Ash, Metals and Sediment readings

AMERGY 222

• Fuel Oil Conditioner: Minimizes Fuel Instability and Incompatibility
• Used for fuels with high ox/stab readings and biodiesel contamination

N7 N7

Other er Quality I Issues es

Stability:

• F-76 stable for minimum of 2 years
• Recommend sampling F76 stored greater than 1 year and send to

lab for stability testing

• MGO/DMA no warranted stability
• Recommend sampling MGO stored greater than 6 months and send

to lab for stability testing

Sulfur Content:

• ISO 8217
• DMA 1.0 max
• Residual: Regulatory Requirements (MARPOL Annex VI or ECA)
• MARPOL Annex VI:
• Global 3.5% max (projected to be 0.5% in 2020)
• ECA: Baltic Sea, English Channel and North American ECA: 0.1% max

N7 N7

Other Quality Issues

Sulfur Content (cont):

• California Air Resources Board (CARB):
• ALL ocean going vessels enroute to a CA port and within 24 nautical

miles of the coastline to use low sulfur MGO*

• Main engines AND auxiliary engines and boilers (main boilers excluded)

*Military vessels (including MSC) are exempt, however MSC will comply as much as practical

Source: CARB Marine Note 2012_1

N7 N7

Other er Quality I Issues es

Cloud Point

• F-76 has a cloud point limit of -0.1 C.
• DMA has not cloud point requirement
• Most commonly a “problem” in Korea.
• Vendors typically sell higher cloud points in summer and lower CPs in

winter.

• DFSP is best option if it is of primary concern
• There is an additive to reduce CP but it is extremely cost inefficient

Biodiesel and Biofuel

• Not the same thing! VERY different
• Biodiesel is unregulated mixing of bio-stocks like Fatty Acid Methyl

Ester (FAME) with regular MGOs. Low concentrations have questionable impact.

• Biofuel is a fuel with known concentrations of bio-stocks with proven
• performance. For Example: 50/50 HRD/F-76
• Current USN and MSC Policy is 0% biodiesel/FAME

• Pre-delivery spec sheet, C&B, In-line sampling/dosing
• What is the additive that must be dosed at every bunkering?
• AMERSTAT 25 – biocide
• What is the global sulfur limit on bunker fuel?
• 3.5%
• What is an ECA?
• Emissions Control Area
• Where are the current ECAs?
• Baltic Sea, English Channel, North American
• What is the sulfur limit in the ECA’s?
• 0.1%

Record Maintenance

• Fuel Samples:
• Ship’s MARPOL Sample: Until consumed but not less than 1

year from delivery.

• Vendor Sample: 0, give to vendor; Test Sample: 0, mail ASAP
• Retest Sample: Until consumed or 90 days after delivery
• Bunker Deliver Notes:
• BDN’s shall be retained onboard for a period of three years

after receipt of bunker fuel.

• Fuel Messages:
• Same as BDN

Common n Issue ues

Common I Issues es: Q Quantity

Busan, Korea

• Inspection of the barges turned up unknown,

unreported / uncertified void spaces

• Three bunker barges supplied fuel to the Watson on

9-28-10.

• The barges’ void has sluice valves to allow it to be

filled with the rest of the vessel, but then it is isolated and pumped out.

• The barge receives the ordered amount, then pumps

the void off, and delivers to us the reduced amount.

N7 N7

Common I Issues es: Q Quantity

Busan, Korea (cont.)

• The sounding tables for the barge represent this void

as part of the larger tank. When this void is pumped

• ff the soundings do not change. They have a survey

that shows them receiving the full amount and the barge is found to be empty so they claim we received the full amount.

• There is no way to see this void is empty at the pre-

unloading soundings.

• No openings to this void from the deck.

Charleston, South Carolina

Vendor: KPI Bridge Oil Fuel Type: MGO Problem: Vendor has only 1 clean tank on his barge which holds 2000 barrels. Results in a lot of round robin trips to fuel farm and creates a LONG day of fueling. Action: Vendor has been put on notice by DLA, however they are the only contracted vendor in the area. Interim Solution: Ensure you include an “End by” time in your SEACARD order.

Common I Issues es: Q Quantity

Gwangyang, Korea

Vendor: Multiple Fuel Type: MGO Problem: Vendor claimed delivery of more fuel than had been delivered. Surveyor was hired to oversee the evolution and caught the discrepancy via soundings

• rounds. Further inspection revealed a tank holding the

4000 gallons (tank was not hidden) . Action: Dispute was made on site and the vendor corrected their number. DLA was notified for future reference. Note: Take Pictures for future use by DLA and MSC
