What is ISO/PAS 23263- marine fuel quality about?
ISO/PAS 23263 addresses quality considerations that apply to marine fuels in view of the implementation of maximum 0,50 mass % S in 2020 and the range of marine fuels that will be placed on the market in response to the international statutory requirements to reduce exhaust gas emissions.
ISO/PAS 23263 defines general requirements that apply to all 0,50 mass % sulfur (S) fuels and confirms the applicability of ISO 8217 for those fuels.
ISO/PAS 23263 gives technical considerations which might apply to particular fuels for the following characteristics:
- Kinematic viscosity
- Cold flow properties
- Stability
- Ignition characteristics
- Catalyst fines
Who is ISO/PAS 23263- marine fuel quality for?
ISO/PAS 23263- marine fuel quality is useful for:
- Fuel producers, suppliers, traders, fuel terminals and supply facilities
- Ship owners, ship operators
- Classification societies, fuel testing services, engine designers
- Petroleum industry
Why should you use ISO/PAS 23263- marine fuel quality?
ISO/PAS 23263 provides technical guidance which might apply to particular fuels for the following characteristics:
- Kinematic viscosity
- Cold flow properties
- Stability
- Ignition characteristics
- Catalyst fines
ISO/PAS 23263 helps you ensure stability of residual fuel for safe handling and use on board ships. Compliance with ISO/PAS 23263 lets you evaluate fuel segregation policy and the means to determine the compatibility between fuels on board and from on shore.
ISO/PAS 23263 guides ship operators to minimize commingling of fuel to prevent fuel incompatibility issues.
