This document outlines the specifications and limits for three types of marine fuels produced by Shell: Shell Marine Gas Oil, Shell Marine Diesel Fuel, and Blended Marine Diesel Fuel. It specifies properties such as density, viscosity, flash point, pour point, sulfur content, and distillation characteristics. The fuels must meet limiting specifications for each property to ensure quality according to ISO standards. Shell tests for additional properties not required by ISO, such as sediment content and metals levels, to provide high quality fuels for marine applications.
