Project Brief
Due to a change in regulations in January 2015, it was necessary to run the main engine and auxiliary engines on LSMGO at 0.01%. This measure was taken in order to meet the emissions requirements in Europe and USA/Canada. To meet the regulations, Shell, multinational Oil and Gas Company, needed to carry out cleaning of HFO tanks so that they could be used as dedicated GO tanks.
