Poor quality marine fuel can put the safety, operational and environmental performance of ships at risk. With highly variable marine fuel quality across the world, the risk of contamination that could be harmful to ship systems, the crew or the environment must be managed to avoid the potentially huge cost of downtime and repairs.

Through our Fuel Oil Bunker Analysis and Advisory Service (FOBAS) we provide ship operators and managers with independent verification of fuel quality and provide technical support for problematic fuels
