Now
Currently the grade DMA, DMB and DMC are covered by the EU Gas Oil directive. Vessels using these grades in EU port and territorial waters have to ensure that the Sulphur content of these grades are less than 0.2% sulphur.


In some locations suppliers can supply DMA, DMB or DMC with a sulphur content in excess of 0.2% Sulphur but ships cannot use this fuel whilst in EU ports or in EU territorial waters. In other locations the sale of DMA, DMB or DMC with a sulphur content in excess of 0.2% S is not allowed..


From the 11th August 2006 the regulations change.
Vessels using DMA in EU port and territorial waters have to ensure that the Sulphur content of this grade is less than 0.2% sulphur.
