Emission Control Areas have been introduced by the International Maritime Organisation meaning ships which travel within such areas must reduce their emissions.One way to make this possible is for ships engines to use LSFO. LSFO has a very low viscosity typically close to 1cp but not only does it have a low viscosity, but its lubricity is also very poor meaning pump internals must be s...
