Sinopec plans to create a fleet of 100 barges over the next three years aiming to supply IMO 2020 compliant marine fuel. If that happens, Sinopec would become a top regional supplier of very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).
As Reuters reports citing a Chinese shipping executive, the fleet would include new orders of 50 vessels of 8,000 to 10,000 deadweight tonne (DWT) each and chartering an additional 50 smaller vessels each of 3,000 – 4,000 DWT.
