low sulfur marine gas oil (LSMGO)
Marine gas oil (LSMGO) is a type of fuel used in marine vessels.
It is a distillate fuel derived from crude oil through a refining process, designed for use in maritime transport.
LSMGO is characterized by a lower sulfur content compared to traditional marine fuels, making it compliant
with stricter environmental regulations aimed at reducing air pollution and mitigating the impact of shipping on the environment.
It is commonly used in smaller ships, coastal vessels, and ships operating in emission-controlled areas, providing a balance
between efficiency, environmental considerations, and compliance with international fuel standards
