The limits anticipated by major oil companies in terms of specific gravity, viscosity, sulphur, "conradson carbon residue" and vanadium are shown, and compared with those presently specified in the "sulzer" fuel recommendation for "RND/RND-M" engines and "Z" engines. Possible ways to cope with the situation, pricing development, and synthetic fuels are discussed. Order from: NSFI as No. 14469.
