Prices are gross, indicative and quoted in USD. Firm pricing, discounts and commissions are confirmed in the FCO for each transaction.
What is Fuel Oil CST-180?
Fuel Oil CST-180 is an intermediate fuel oil in the 180-centistoke viscosity class at 50 °C, produced by blending residual fuel with lighter distillate — the ISO 8217 RME/RMG 180 family. It fires marine main engines, power-plant boilers and industrial furnaces, needing less pre-heating than heavier residuals. Buyers needing a heavier, cheaper barrel can compare Mazut M100; those needing distillate should see Diesel Gas Oil D2.
Typical specification (ISO 8217 RMG 180 type)
| Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Kinematic viscosity at 50 °C | ≤ 180 mm²/s |
| Density at 15 °C | ≤ 991 kg/m³ |
| Sulphur content | per contracted grade (≤ 0.5 % VLSFO or ≤ 3.5 %) |
| Flash point | ≥ 60 °C |
| Pour point | ≤ 30 °C |
| Water content | ≤ 0.5 % vol |
The contracted grade (including sulphur class) is fixed in the SCO/FCO and verified by SGS or CIQ at loading.

Frequently asked questions
What is CST-180 fuel oil used for?
Marine bunkers for main engines, power generation and industrial boilers. The 180 cSt class balances energy content against handling — it needs less pre-heating than heavier residual grades.
What is the minimum order quantity?
10,000 MT per month minimum, up to 500,000 MT per month on term contracts. Trial lifts at the minimum are accepted.
What is the CST-180 price per metric ton?
Gross indicative pricing is USD 300 per MT CIF and USD 290 per MT FOB, confirmed as firm in the FCO based on grade, destination and quantity.
Can you supply 0.5% sulphur (VLSFO) grade?
State the required sulphur class in your ICPO — the offered grade and its specification are fixed in the SCO/FCO and certified by SGS/CIQ at loading.
