All of ExxonMobil’s marine fuels now meet the new ISO 8217:2017 specifications, enabling peace of mind for vessel operators and on-board engineers.

The newly published sixth edition of the specifications updates the 2012 version (ISO 8217:2012). Amongst the changes are a number of revisions that have been made to address current industry trends, including:

  • The introduction of supplementary cold flow data for distillate fuels
  • The addition of a new class of distillates allowing for bio-fuel blends
  • The inclusion of hydrocarbons from synthetic or renewable sources

In order to comply with the specifications, ExxonMobil now includes the cold filter plugging point and cloud point of distillate fuels on its bunker delivery notes. Stating cold flow properties in this way will help vessel operators better manage fuels on board.

“Our customers rely on us to deliver the highest quality products“, said Iain White, Global Marketing Manager, ExxonMobil Marine. “Meeting the new ISO 8217:2017 specifications allows us to support our customers’ fuel needs and aids in preventing safety issues.”
