Our Products
AGO
Grade AGO (Automotive Gas Oil) also known as road diesel which is the same product that is used for road cars and has a maximum sulphur content of 10 ppm (parts per million). Due to the low sulphur it is also known as Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD).
Although the specification of AGO is not controlled by an international body, EN 590 is a European standard that describes the physical properties that all automotive diesel fuel must meet if it is to be sold in the European Union and several other European countries. EN 590 states AGO must have a maximum sulphur content of 10 ppm and it may contain FAME up to 7%. Although being labelled as automotive fuel it is also used as a marine fuel specification for offshore and inland vessels.
FAME
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) is the generic chemical term for biodiesel derived from renewable sources. Bio-derived fuels and blends of bio-derived fuels with petroleum products are included within the range of potential alternative energy sources being considered by some sections of marine industry since they are renewable and can result in reduced greenhouse gases (GHGs) and sulphur emissions (SOx). The bulk of bio derived fuels currently available are the products of a transesterification process that removes the glyceride fraction to produce fatty acid methyl ester(s).
FAME Free AGO
Notwithstanding the good ignition and lubricity properties together with the potential environmental benefits, FAME has specific complications which includes an affinity to water and therefore risk of microbial growth, for this reason the majority of AGO supplied to yachts is specified as FAME free.
But might this be about to change?
MGO
DMA or MGO (Marine Gas Oil) is a marine fuel specification based on ISO 8217 which is an international standard that specifies the requirements for fuels for use in marine diesel engines.
Under ISO 8217 MGO must have a maximum sulphur content of 0.1% (or 1,000 ppm) and it may contain FAME up to 0.5%. This is a fuel specification specially created for marine diesel engine use and has many similarities as EN 590. The most recent revision of the specification is the 2017 edition.
Like AGO, MGO can be specified FAME FREE if required.
BFuture – HVO
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a drop-in biofuel that can be used both as a blend with
conventional gasoil as well as a 100% replacement fuel.
As HVO can vary in specification, Peninsula has created BFuture, the very best and most sustainable HVO on the market today. We only use second generation HVO to maximise the reduction in harmful emissions. Visit our Sustainability page for more information on BFuture.
As the leading independent physical supplier globally, we understand the importance of operational excellence. Peninsula’s success has been underpinned by an unwavering commitment to go above and beyond industry standards and customer expectations.
Our end-to-end management of planning, delivery and follow up translates into a smooth delivery that is on time and delivered as efficiently as possible to suit your itinerary.
To ensure we are constantly improving our customer experience, our follow up service identifies any areas for improvement as well as updating our database of the latest customer experiences so that we can guarantee the most up to date information when advising future customers.
Urea
Marine Urea or Aqueous Urea Solution (AUS), also known as AdBlue (more commonly in the automotive sector) is used as a reagent to reduce Nitrogen Oxide NO2 emissions. In modern mid-range yachts, Urea is used in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system to ensure the yacht complies with Tier III emission controls.
Urea is generally supplied by the barrel and we can also arrange for pumping of the product onboard.
Marine Lubricant
Whether it’s lubricant for your main engines, generators, hydraulics or compressors or marine grade grease, we are able to source and supply lubricants from all the major bands including, Shell, Mobil, Castrol and Gulf.
Our service will include any necessary pumping, so that the product can be delivered straight into the yacht’s tank if required.
Jet Fuel
The demand for Jet A1 aviation fuel is growing as yachts continue to get larger and include provisions for helicopter operations. We are currently able to supply Jet A1 at Gibraltar where the fuel also benefits from being duty free.
Enquiries outside of Gibraltar can be arranged on request.
Please contact us for more details.
Gasoline
If you require Gasoline for smaller tenders or personal watercraft, we can arrange delivery as required, although there will likely be a minimum delivery for truck supply.
