ISO 8217 Bunker Fuel Testing

ISO 8217 bunker fuel testing for quality and compliance.

Marine bunker fuel oil is tested to ISO 8217 specifications by Intertek laboratories, helping ship bunker fuel comply with Marpol Annex VI, the EU Sulphur Directive, Sulphur Emission Control Area (ECA) requirements, and other commercial, legal and quality standards. Intertek expertise in bunker fuel services help clients protect expensive ship engines, reduce down-time risks, and comply with environmental regulations.
