Marine heavy fuel oil is used by ship engines. It 

comprises different distillates from crude oil that 

are tested for their characteristics and then blended 

according to national standards or international 

specifications. But as the low sulfur era approaches, 

the existing production processes need to be changed. 

There are three principal ways to produce LSFO: 

(1) distillation of low sulfur crude oil; (2) mixing and 

blending low sulfur residual fuel with high sulfur heavy 

fuel; and (3) using processing facilities to lower the 

sulfur content of high sulfur residual fuel.
