To comply with ECA and EU regulation, Vessel uses compliant Low Sulphur Marine Gas
Oil( Sulphur <0.1% m/m) in whole ECA and EU.
All changeover timings, vessel positions, quantity of fuel oil consumed / ROB, and fuel oil
information to be filled in ECA Changeover Log Book and recorded in the Engine
Log Book..
1. Bridge informs C/E approximate time at entry / exit ECA and / or EU.
3. Using Lloyd’s Register Marine Fobas Calculator (latest version) to calculate the
approximate time necessary to dilute HSFO with LSFO (S<0.1% m/m).Starting changeover
time to be Calculating Time plus two(2) hours of safety margins to ensure complete
changeover before crossing ECA line.
Start changing over according required flushing time of FOBAS program Plus(+) 2
hours.
1. Record in Engine Log Book time and Nautical position when start change over and

Record Book.
2. Close valve for all heating Coils of fuel supply and return pipes thermal Heaters
3. Reduce pre-heating of HFO up to app…90- 950C
(Temperature drop <2oC/min and Viscosity not less than 2 cst to be maintained)
4. Open supply valve (if closed) from MGO Service Tanks No.1 and No.2
5. Shift two – way fuel valve to supply ME by MGO. Normal MGO temperature
