the date of entry into force of the regulation (April 5, 2005), and in single-hull oil tankers of 600 tons dwt and above but less than 5,000 tons dwt, not later than the anniversary of their delivery date in 2008.
Cabinda 32.5 0.11 Angola
HGO includes: an API lower than 25.7 degrees, bitumen, tar, and their emulsions, fule oils with a kinematic viscosity at 50 degrees higher than 180mm2/s. Category 2 and 3 tankers fitted with DB / DS may Girassol 31.6 0.32 Angola
be able to continue operation up to the ship's 25th anniversary (Certain other exclusions apply - see full text of regulation at www.imo.org). Kuito 19 0.68 Angola

The graph below displays selected types of crude with API displayed on the left hand scale and Sulfur content listed on the bottom logarithmic scale, the corresponding tables for each type of crude follow the Nemba 38.7 0.19 Angola
graph and are sorted by country. The 13H regulation affects vessels carrying crude with an API gravity below 25.7 degrees, as displayed on the graphs below. Approximately 18% of the total crude used for Palanca 37.2 0.18 Angola
Quenquela 31.1 0.94 Angola
this report lies below the 25.7 line, in addition the majority of the crude falls between the 30-39 degree range, over half (52%). A large percentage of South American crude is below the 25.7 mark (28%), while
Soyo Blend 33.5 0.14 Angola
only 10% of the Far East Crude below 25.7. Takula 32.9 0.11 Angola
Xikomba 34.83 0.39 Angola
Sulfur Content is not an issue in the 13H regulation. Interestingly 4% of sweet crudes, 2% of Intermediate crudes, and 12% of sour crudes are affected by the 13H regulation. Benin 22.7 0.38 Benin
