Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) - A review of fate and behaviour of HFO spills in cold seawater, including biodegradation, environmental effects and oil spill response

Shipping activities across the Artic are expected to increase with decreasing sea ice cover, thus increasing the risk of oil spills. Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO, a mixture of residual fuel and distillate diluent) is often used as fuel in marine vessels as it is relatively cheaper than e.g. lighter marine fu...
