Denmark's Maersk Oil Trading (MOT) has moved to secure more IMO 2020-compliant fuel supplies through a deal with Koole Terminals in Rotterdam.

The group said production of very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) will take place at the petrochemical industrial distillation (PID) unit of Koole’s Botlek site in the heart of the key port.

Production is expected to cover between 5% and 10% of Maersk’s annual fleet fuel demand.
