What does MGO mean in UNCLASSIFIED

MGO stands for Marine Gas Oils. It is a type of fuel used in ships and other maritime vessels. It is typically made up of hydrocarbon molecules derived from crude oil, consisting mostly of low-sulfur petroleum fractions such as gas oils and diesel fuels.

There are several advantages to using MGO as marine fuel over traditional diesel fuels such as lower sulfur content, better combustion efficiency, improved engine performance, cost savings due to reduced maintenance requirements, reduced emissions and more efficient operation at low temperatures among others.

Yes, with the use of any new fuel comes special maintenance requirements to ensure proper operation and longevity of the engines consuming the fuel. These include proper filtration systems for both pre-filtering and post-filtering to ensure only clean fuel can enter the engine cylinders. Additionally, timely oil changes and regular cleaning of engine components must be done in order to avoid blockages caused by buildup from the new fuel consumed in the engine system.

Many types of vehicles that operate on waterways such as boats, ferries, tugboats etc., can take advantage of Marine Gas Oils as their main source of propulsion energy due to its efficient combustion properties that yield better power output than many conventional diesel fuels available in markets today.
