Oh and I agree with your post, just an FYI on marine fuels.

Sulfur content on RMG (bunker fuel) was dropped to 5000ppm from I believe 35000ppm.
Ships have to switch to MGO when within a certain distance from shore (can't remember exact distance off hand). MGO has a maximum sulfur content of 1000ppm. The RMG (bunker fuel) we build at work is around 2500ppm
To put that into context diesel fuel is 10 ppm maximum
Jet A1 is 500ppm
