about fuel Oil Specifications like LSHFO, MDO, and HFO for Main Engine, and Auxiliary
Engine Used on Ship. These are particular for a ship and are intended only to
give certain ideas about fuel oil quality. Some other ships might have different
value for it, but the properties and features which are used for evaluation
will remain the same.

So these were some of the
properties and specification of fuel oil that are used onboard.
I was just looking at your Properties and Specifications of LSHFO, MDO, and HFO used for Main Engine, and Auxiliary Engine | marinersgalaxy site and see that your website has the potential to become very popular.
What is the impact of mixing hsfo with lshfo. Interested in the mixing that is bound to occur onboard a ship.
