In 2015, Annex VI to the International MARPOL Convention regulated the reduction of sulfur content in fuels to 0.1 % in special areas. If there is no scrubber on board, the ship must switch to light fuel when entering special navigation areas. Alfa Laval's autonomous control system is designed to facilitate and speed up the process of switching from heavy to diesel fuel on merchant ships. The effectiveness of this system is beyond doubt, since the establishment of the operating mode when switching from one type of fuel to another takes approximately 2 minutes. Thus, this system avoids the installation of an expensive scrubber and solves the human factor problem.
