Fuel Oil [HSFO and VLSFO] is a heavy, petroleum-derived product widely used for power generation, industrial heating, and marine applications. It stands among the leading supplies in the UAE, ensuring steady quality and reliable distribution. Known for its high energy content and efficient combustion, Fuel Oil [HSFO and VLSFO] serves as a dependable energy source for factories, ships, and large-scale operations, supporting consistent industrial performance across the region.
Fuel Oil [HSFO and VLSFO] is classified by viscosity, boiling point, and composition, with the U.S. system ranging from No. 1 to No. 6. No. 1 Fuel Oil is a light, clean-burning distillate similar to kerosene, while No. 2 Fuel Oil is heavier and commonly used for home heating and diesel engines. No. 4 to No. 6 Fuel Oils, also called Bunker A, B, and C, are thicker residual grades that often require preheating, with No. 6 (Heavy Fuel Oil [HSFO]) being the densest and most energy-rich. In marine use, the ISO 8217 standard defines Marine Gas Oil (MGO) as a light distillate, Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) as a blended grade, and Fuel Oil [HSFO and VLSFO] as the primary fuel types for large vessels.
Fuel oil [HSFO and VLSFO] is flammable and should be handled with care—use in well-ventilated areas, wear protective gear, keep away from heat, sparks, or open flames, avoid ingestion, and dispose of safely according to UAE regulations.
Use fuel oil only in well-ventilated areas.
Always wear gloves and protective clothing when handling.
Never ingest or inhale fuel oil.
Never ingest; can cause severe lung damage.
Store in tightly sealed containers, away from children and pets.
Made from quality distillates, fuel oil [HSFO and VLSFO] burns reliably, works across 150–370 °C, and stays safe with a flash point of 60–100 °C. It’s a simple, efficient energy source for heating, steam, and industry in the UAE.
