IMO’s long awaited Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for IMO2020 grade bunkers has been published by ISO. This document addresses quality considerations that apply to marine fuels in view of the implementation of maximum 0,50 mass % S in 2020 and the range of marine fuels that will be placed on the market in response to the international statutory requirements to reduce exhaust gas emissions. It defines general requirements that apply to all 0,50 mass % sulfur (S) fuels and confirms the applicability of ISO 8217 for those fuels. Additionally, it provides considerations on the compatibility between fuels and additional information on ISO 8217:2017, Annex B. Read ISO/PAS 23263:2019:
