Amendments to SOLAS Flashpoint Regulation

Since 1st May 2024, it has been a MARPOL Annex VI requirement that the Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) also includes either the actual flashpoint of a fuel as supplied or a declaration that its flashpoint has been determined as being at or above 70°C. A subsequent amendment clarified that requirement only applied to fuels which were intended to have a flashpoint not less than 60°C as required by SOLAS II-2 regulation 2.1.1.

Please find attached a bulletin which provides further information in relation to this.
