What Is Marine Gas Oil?

Marine Gas Oil (MGO) is a distillate-based fuel used to power marine engines. Unlike heavy fuel oils (HFO), it burns cleaner, contains less sulfur, and complies with modern  environmental standards like ISO 8217 and IMO 2020. MGO is commonly used in:

  • Tugboats, ferries, fishing vessels
  • Cargo ships operating within Emission Control Areas (ECAs)
  • Backup marine generators
  • Vessels that require low-sulfur fuel (<0.5%)

There are several types of marine fuels, generally classified into:​

Marine Gas Oil vs Marine Diesel vs Heavy Fuel Oil

Marine Gas Oil is Diesel?

Marine diesel is comparable to diesel fuel, except it is denser.

Maritime diesel oil (MDO) is a term used to describe marine fuels that are composed of various distillates (also known as marine gasoil) and heavy fuel oil mixes. Unlike land-based motor fuels, marine diesel is not a pure distillate.

What’s Happening to Our Marine Gas Oil Prices?

The price of marine gas oil is mostly determined by the amount of bunker fuel purchased. It is often less expensive when compared to other types of diesel, however this is because marine diesel oil is of inferior quality when compared to other gas oil suited for other applications, such as heavy duty vehicles and backup generators.

Bunker fuel oil costs vary according to quality, so be sure you’re obtaining the best fuel oil for your maritime needs from Vegatron Singapore. You may phone us at any time 6777-7772 to talk with one of our maritime gas oil professionals who can advise you on which bunker fuels to buy and when.
