The Problem

Why Residual Fuels Are Risking Your Fleet

Traditional heavy fuel oils like RMD80 carry hidden costs that erode your bottom line and expose your operations to growing regulatory risk.

Residual Marine Fuels

RMD80 / HFO

  • High sulfur content — contributes to SOx emissions and acid rain, violating tightening IMO regulations
  • Combustion instability — inconsistent fuel quality leads to incomplete combustion and engine wear
  • Harmful contaminants — contains catalytic fines, ash, and metallic compounds that damage injectors and cylinders
  • Fuel compatibility issues — blending risks cause sludge buildup, clogged filters, and costly downtime
  • Higher maintenance costs — increased frequency of purifier cleaning, filter replacement, and engine overhauls

Universal Marine Fuel

Premium Grade DMA Distillate

  • Near-zero sulfur — max 0.001% sulfur, fully compliant with IMO 2020 and future CARB regulations
  • Superior combustion — clean, consistent burn maximizes energy output and reduces carbon deposits
  • No harmful contaminants — eliminates catalytic fines and metallic impurities, protecting your engines
  • Full compatibility — single premium grade eliminates blending risks and simplifies fuel management
  • Lower total cost of ownership — reduced maintenance, less downtime, and extended engine lifecycle
Five Dimensions of Value

Transforming the High Seas

UMF delivers measurable advantages across every dimension that matters to ship owners.

Economic

Reduced maintenance costs, lower fuel consumption per nautical mile, and minimized port detention from compliance failures.

Environmental

Near-zero SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions. Choose carbon-neutral or carbon-negative variants for ESG leadership.

Regulatory

Exceeds ISO 8217:2017 standards. Future-proof against IMO 2020, EU ETS, CII, and FuelEU Maritime regulations.

Social

Healthier crew environment with reduced airborne pollutants. Enhanced corporate reputation with stakeholders and charterers.

Technical

Compatible with existing high-speed and medium-speed marine engines. No retrofits required — drop-in replacement.

Product Portfolio

One Premium Grade, Two Carbon Paths

Both products share the same superior base fuel — choose your carbon commitment level.

GreenSea™ MGO

Carbon Neutral

Full lifecycle carbon emissions offset through verified carbon credits. Ideal for ship owners targeting carbon neutrality under EU ETS and CII frameworks.

Carbon Neutral Certified Third-Party Verified ETS Compliant

ZeroMarine™ MGO

Carbon Negative

Goes beyond neutrality — net-negative carbon footprint through advanced carbon removal credits. Position your fleet as an industry sustainability leader.

Carbon Negative Certified Third-Party Verified ESG Leader
