    Residual oil is the heaviest fraction of crude oil and requires pre-heating due to its high viscosity. It produces dark smoke when burned and has high pollutant concentrations. IFO 180 and IFO 380 are mixtures of residual oil and distillate oil, with IFO 380 containing more distillate oil and being more expensive. MDO consists mainly of distillate oil and has a lower sulfur content than residual oils or IFO fuels. MGO is pure distillate oil and has the lowest sulfur content of the marine fuels.

    Marine fuels
    Residual oil: it is the heaviest fraction of the distillation of crude oil, with high viscosity (=> pre-
    heating necessary => used only in large ships) and high concentration of pollutants (e.g. sulphur). Its
    combustion produces a much darker smoke than other fuels and it needs specific temperature for
    storage and pumping. Due to these drawbacks, it is also the cheapest liquid fuel on the market.
    IFO 180 (Intermediate Fuel Oil) : it is a mix of 98% of residual oil and 2% of distillate oil.
    IFO 380 (Intermediate Fuel Oil) : it is a mix of 88% of residual oil and 12% of distillate oil. Due to the
    higher content in distillate oil, IFO 380 is more expensive than IFO 180.
    MDO (Marine Diesel Oil) : it mainly consists of distillate oil and has a lower sulphur content than the
    three fuels described above.
    MGO (Marine Gas Oil) : it is pure distillate oil and has the lowest sulphur content.
