Total will be able to supply its existing customers and others with its new very low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) in time to meet the looming IMO 2020 regulations.
But fuel viscosities will vary across batches and where they are supplied, the energy major revealed.
Jerome Leprince-Ringuet, who is the new managing director of supply arm Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions, told its London forum that the VLSFO will have lower viscosities than the widely used high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO).
