Abstract

In the recent International Maritime Organization's (IMOs) Maritime Safety Committee's 93rd session, the International Chamber of Shipping and International Parcel Tankers Association addressed marine fuel oil quality problems: increasing diluents in marine fuel oil, ignition in engine rooms due to the low flash point of fuel oil, and marine fuel oils that can damage marine engines. To deal with these marine fuel oil quality problems, the International Maritime Organization secretariat appointed the worlds marine fuel oil monitoring institute and constituted a correspondence group to determine the fuel oil quality required by MARPOL Annex VI regulation 14.8 (sulfur content less than 0.5%). In this study, basic research that can help with responding to marine fuel quality issues and the IMO's work is conducted. In order to perform this basic research, the off-spec ratio related to the fuel oil quality standard (ISO 8217:2012), density distribution tendency, gross specific energy, and correlation between components in the fuel oil are analyzed through actual marine fuel oil (residual marine fuel) data from the Port of Singapore.

최근 국제해사기구(International Maritime Organization, 이하 IMO) 해사안전위원회(Maritime Safety Committee, 이하 MSC) 제 93차 회의에서 ICS(International Chamber of Shipping) 및 IPTA(International Parcel Tankers Association)는 저유황유 수요 증가에 따른 연료유내 희석제의 사용량 증가 문제, 저인화점 연료유 사용 시 기관실내 연료유 기화에 의한 점화 문제, 선박 엔진 손상을 일으키는 연료유 등에 대해 보고하였다. 연료유 품질 문제와 관련하여 IMO 사무국에서는 전 세계에 공급되는 선박용 연료유 품질 모니터링 기관을 지정하였고 공급된 연료유가 MARPOL Annex VI regulation 14.8 (황분함유량이 0.5 % 이하)에 만족하는지 결정하기 위한 통신작업반 (Correspondence group)을 구성하여 연료유 품질 문제에 대응하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 선박용 연료유의 품질 문제 제기 및 이에 대한 대응을 위해 국내외에서 이루어지는 연구에 도움을 줄 수 있는 기초연구를 수행하였다. 기초연구를 위해 싱가포르 항구에서 수급되는 실제 선박용 연료유(잔사유)의 기본품질 데이터를 수집하였으며, 기본품질 데이터를 통해 연료유의 품질기준 (ISO 8217:2012) 미달 비율, 밀도분포 경향, 총발열량 및 연료유 내 성분 간 상관관계 등을 포함한 분석들을 수행하였다.
