What is marine gas oil (MGO)?
Marine gas oil (MGO) is a type of diesel fuel used in ships and marine vessels. It’s made by distilling crude oil to create a blend of middle distillates, specifically kerosene, light and heavy gas oil fractions. The process involves heating crude oil and separating components in a fractional distillation tower based on boiling points. MGO is a middle distillate and is produced between diesel and heavy fuel oil. It consists exclusively of these condensed distillates, making it lighter and cleaner than heavy fuel oil.
Other names include:
- MGO – Marine Gas Oil
- MDO – Marine Diesel Oil
- IFO – Intermediate Fuel Oil
- MFO – Marine Fuel Oil
- HFO – Heavy Fuel Oil
Marine gas oil specifications
