Questions about
Marine Diesel Oil.
Answers to common questions about sourcing Marine Diesel Oil.
What is the difference between MDO and MGO?
MDO usually contains a residual component. This affects viscosity, handling and the requirements for engines and separators. Tell us the vessel and operating pattern if you need help comparing MDO and MGO for your use.
Why do you ask about blend requirements?
Cargoes that meet the same specification may still mix differently with fuel in your tanks. Knowing your blend requirements helps identify compatibility issues before delivery.
Do you need the delivery port?
Usually, yes. Availability, applicable limits and delivery arrangements depend on the port. We need the location to assess your enquiry.
Can you use my existing specification sheet?
Yes. Send the specification sheet, and we will use it. We will ask about any unclear or unusual requirements.
What should I say about the delivery method?
Tell us whether you need delivery by barge, truck or pipeline and any constraints at the berth. The delivery method affects which suppliers can serve the port and how the delivery is arranged and documented.
