ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50

A new category of marine fuel formulated to meet the 2015 Emission Control Areas (ECA) sulphur limit - available in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp (ARA) now.

ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 is specially designed to help marine operators comply with the 0.10% sulphur cap to be introduced in the ECA from 1st January 2015.

Offers potential performance and safety benefits versus distillate
marine gas oil
ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 helps engineers to safely and efficiently operate their main and auxiliary engines and boilers. It has the performance benefits associated with both marine gas oil (MGO) and heavy fuel oil (HFO):

A low sulphur content associated with MGO
The higher flashpoint and lower volatility properties typically found in HFO

The properties of ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 allow marine operators to simultaneously:

Comply with the upcoming ECA sulphur cap
Reduce the risk of engine and boiler damage

Maintains safety and reliability on-board

Higher viscosity makes storing and handling the fuel on-board similar to HFO
Reduction in the risk of thermal shock during fuel switchover

Proven performance

‘No Objection Letters’ received from MAN Diesel & Turbo (MDT)
Currently used by a range of vessel operators

ExxonMobil Premium HDME 50 is available for vessels operating in the Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp (ARA) region. ExxonMobil also offers MGO at more than 40 ports worldwide.
