Summary

AI-generated · Aug 27, 2025

Amendment 0002 updates the Ship's Bunkers Program with the latest Energy Quality Assurance Provisions for Marine Gas Oil (MGO) and Marine Gas Oil with DMA (MGT), as well as intermediate fuels RMG-380 and RME-180. Fuels must meet the ISO 8217 standard (latest revision) and MARPOL environmental requirements, including a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% by weight (0.1% in emission control areas; 15 ppm for refineries/deliveries to CONUS), and a 0.5% FAME de minimis limit. Fuel must not contain black dye, and testing allowances include approved alternative test methods for sulfur and FAME, plus mandatory lubricity testing.

Before award, the offered fuel must fully meet the applicable specifications, and the supplier must provide a Statutory Sample and Bunker Delivery Note: at least 500 mL for MGO/MGT, or 400 mL for RMG-380 and RME-180, taken from the receiving vessel’s inlet bunker manifold and sealed with a MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 18–compliant sample tag. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) must be current (no older than 90 days) and include test date, results, methods, and laboratory signature.

This Amendment 0002 is hereby issued to address the discrepancies and incorporate the correct and updated Quality Assurance Provisions below.

The following are additional requirements or approved modifications to specifications. (b) SPECIFICATION MODIFICATIONS: a) TESTING: 1) Hydrogen sulfide testing is not required 2) In addition to the latest revision of ISO 8217 approved sulfur tests, the latest revision of the following test methods are approved for Sulfur testing: ASTM D5453, D1266, D1552, D2622, D3120, D7039, or ISO16591. See section 6.3 of ISO 8217 for referee test method. For a total sulfur content of less than 0.05 mass % (500 ppm), the latest revision of ASTM D5453 is the recommended ASTM method. 3) The latest revision of the following test methods are approved for FAME testing per ISO 8217: IP 579 or ASTM D 7963.
