ExxonMobil has more than 50 years of heritage in supplying high-quality fuels and technical expertise to support regulatory compliance in the marine industry. Quality, reliability, integrity and innovation are the four values that continue to define ExxonMobil’s global commitment to our customers.
A multifuel future
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) announced a 0.50% global sulphur cap on marine fuels emissions that was implemented in 2020. That decision triggered a major change in fuel selection. Some vessel operators continued to use high-sulphur heavy fuel oil (HSFO) but only if they had installed an exhaust gas scrubber system, or the majority switched to a low-sulphur fuel, such as one of ExxonMobil’s new EMF.5™ Engineered Marine Fuels. While there is not only one fuel solution that applied to all vessels, we continue to work closely with customers to help determine their best route to compliance.
Safe and reliable supply
With our integrated supply chain and use of mass flow metering technology, we ensure reliable fuel deliveries in a safe and timely manner at the ports we serve around the world.
Lowering emissions in shipping
Marine fuel used in the global shipment of goods is undergoing a tremendous change. In helping to facilitate that change, ExxonMobil has engineered breakthrough lower-emission fuels like the EMF.5 that are helping meet the International Marine Organization’s environmental standards.
