Qatar Petroleum announces commencement of supply of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil at Ras Laffan Industrial City Port
Qatar Petroleum is pleased to announce commencing the supply of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) at Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLIC) Port. The VLSFO marine fuel offering has been initiated in advance of the International Maritime Organization ("IMO") 2020 regulation for a 0.50% global Sulphur limit for marine fuels which will come into effect 1st January 2020.

Qatar Petroleum, in conjunction with Qatar Fuel (Woqod), initiated bunkering services in Qatar in June 2017 with the importation of its maiden HFO cargo (RMG 380 CST 3.5% Sulphur) in order to cater for the bunkering needs of both Qatargas’ LNG fleet and other vessels calling to Ras Laffan and the region.

From June 2017 through August 2019, Qatar Petroleum has successfully supplied over 1.5 million tons of marine fuel to RLIC Port, which allows the further servicing for marine fuel at both RLIC Port and other ports in the State of Qatar. And effective immediately, we are proud to announce the availability of VLSFO ahead of the IMO 2020 regulation target date.

Qatar Petroleum hereby continues to invite all vessel owners and operators seeking IMO 2020 compliant VLSFO to avail the services available at RLIC Port and other ports in the State whenever their vessels are calling at or passing by any of Qatar’s ports.

Highlighting the importance of this milestone, His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of Qatar Petroleum said, “Qatar Petroleum continues to strive to achieve the highest environmental standards and to implement the best industry practices to help minimize environmental impacts. We are proud to be one of the first countries to limit the availability of marine fuels to only grades that are compliant with the International Maritime Organization’s 2020 regulation for a 0.50% global Sulphur limit.”

His Excellency Mr. Al-Kaabi added, “We hope this constitutes a major step towards protecting the regional and global environment in line with environmental objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.”
