  1. A Complete Guide to Tank Cleaning Before Fuel Changeover

  2. How are you keeping up with the IMO’s (International Maritime Organization) Global Sulphur Cap of 0.5% fuel emissions? A fuel changeover is mandatory, right? We know that fuel switches are tedious & cumbersome.

  3. Also, there are many aspects to consider before a fuel switch. In this blog will know about why regular tank cleaning services is important? and what is the plan for fuel changeover? also different option for a fuel switch. • What is the SIP Plan for fuel changeover? • The IMO has devised a SIP (Ship Implementation Plan) that involves planning safe and effective fuel changeover. Some important aspects to consider are: • Risk Assessment & Mitigation plan to study the impact of new fuel. • Tank cleaning, pipeline flushing, and system modifications for new fuel. • Capacity of fuel oil. • Segregation capability. • Changeover plan from HSFO (High Sulphur Fuel Oil) to LSFO. • Procurement of new fuel.

  4. However, why there is so much emphasis on tank cleaning Services and how does it impact the engine performance? Let us go deeper to understand. • Why tank cleaning is important before fuel changeover? • HSFOs have been used predominantly in the maritime industry as they are easily available at lower costs. • HSFOs based on residual fuel oils are highly viscous in nature. Its residues tend to stick to the inner surface of the fuel oil system. With prolonged use, it forms layers of semi-solid sediments and asphaltenic sludge accumulation in the inner parts of fuel oil systems (including serving & setting fuel tanks and pipework). • Tank cleaning and pipeline flushing ensure that the remnants of HSFOs are thoroughly cleaned and the engine is ready to fire new fuel at full throttle.

  5. What are the options for a fuel switch? • Here is the options for a fuel switch Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). You have to retrofit existing engines to suit this fuel type. Marine Gas Oil (MGO) or distillates. Installing Air scrubbers to regulate Sulphur emissions from HSFO.

  6. What are the options for tank cleaning with approximate timelines? 1.Manual Cleaning during dry docking 2. Manual Cleaning during service
