a
Annex C gives a brief viscosity/temperature table, for information purposes only. 1 mm2/s = 1 cSt
b
Purchasers should ensure that this pour point is suitable for the equipment onboard, especially if the vessel operates in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
c
A sulfur limit of 1.5% (m/m) will apply in Sox emission control areas designated by the International Maritime Organization, when its relevant protocal comes into force. There may be local variations.
d
A fuel shall be considered to be free of ULO if one or more of the elements zinc, phosphorus and calcium are below or at the specified limits. All three elements shall exceed the same limits before a fuel shall be deemed to contain ULO.
