ONE eyes solution for sulphur limit

Ocean Network Express (ONE) has suggested low sulphur gas oil (LSGO) is “one of the most realistic” solutions to achieving the 2020 Global Sulphur Limit.

The Japanese carrier evaluated three different methods of achieving the limit, which was set by the International Maritime Organization and requires the sulphur content of fuel to be below 0.5% as of 2020 compared to 3.5% currently, and found LSGO, or hybrid oil, to be the best.

ONE said: “Our container vessels are equipped to adopt low-sulphur compliant hybrid oil without requiring special modification.
