Marine diesels are composed of blends of gasoil and heavy fuel oil and heavily utilized on maritime fields. Marine diesel oils are also termed as distillate marine diesels. Moreover, these are extensively deployed in medium speed and high-speed marine diesel engines. It is also used in the larger, slow speed, and medium speed propulsion engine, which normally burn residual fuel. Those fuels are obtained from catalytic cracking process. Moreover, according to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) certain regulations limit the emissions of excess sulfur into the air. These regulations have also led countries and organizations establish regulations and laws on MDO use. In addition, due to its lower price compared to more refined fuel, MDO is favored particularly by the shipping industry.
The global marine diesel market has foreseen some huge sack opportunities over the past few years. Moreover, the International Maritime Organizations regulate the usage of sulfur cap of 0.50% m/m (mass/mass) in 2020 for marine fuels, and increase in ocean-borne trade, especially in ton-km travelled. These factors boost the growth of the market. However, obsolete vessels are replaced by more competent boats, which in turn is expected to drive the market. In addition, the developing marine logistics business, cost efficient LNG products, coupled with imposition of environmental regulations on chemical emissions are other factors that fuel the market. These effective improvements are anticipated to balance the increments in trade to some extent. However, the current decline in the oil prices and the subsequent slowdown in the oil and gas industry is expected to restrict the market.
