Rising costs and fluctuations in feedstock quality make blending low-cost; on-specification bunker fuel difficult and many suppliers produce higher specification products than needed.  A Jiskoot in-line blender can save between $1 and $5 a tonne by minimising the distillate give away.

The purpose of this Marine Notice is to advise owners and operators of ocean-going vessels of the recordkeeping requirements in subsection (e)(2), “Recordkeeping, Reporting, and Monitoring Requirements” in California’s regulation establishing fuel sulfur requirements for ocean-going vessels (“regulation”). This regulation imposes fuel sulfur limits on vessels in Regulated California Waters (a zone approximately 24 nautical miles seaward of the California baseline; see Attachment A), or moor, dock, or otherwise visit a California port, roadstead, or terminal facility (“port”).
