ABSTRACT:
A process for fuelling a marine vessel having a diesel engine and/or a boiler, which comprises providing the marine vessel with a storage tank for high internal phase ratio (HIPR) emulsions comprising 10-40% by weight water and a fuel oil comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of atmospheric residues, vacuum distillate residues, visbreaker residues and other heavy refinery streams in the substantial absence of hydrocarbon cutter stock. The absence of cutter stock avoids incompatibility problems and may allow for use of the emulsion without settling, filtering and centrifuging.
