4. GUIDELINES FOR CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE
1. All valves and pipe lines to be identified and marked clearly.
2. The time required for flushing the high sulphur fuel oil is a
function of the sulphur contents of the high and low sulphur
fuel oils, the rate of fuel consumption and the quantity of high
sulphur fuel oil in the fuel system leading upto the engine fuel
rail.
3. The attached fuel oil change over calculator can be used to

estimate the time required for flushing high sulphur fuel oil out
of the system. This calculator is only for the guidance purpose
and office to be consulted if the vessel is having any doubt.
4. Vessel without having dedicated low sulphur settling and

service tanks
a) Change over preparation to be started 72 hours prior

entering the SECA area
b) Vessel to consume Fuel oil settling tank completely and

remaining to be drained to the overflow tank prior filling the
low sulphur fuel in the settling tank. This is to have minimum
possible high sulphur fuel in the settling tank prior change
over.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
c) Service tank to be consumed to minimum safe level prior

filling the service tank from settling tank.
d) Consumption of settling and service tank to be completed

within 24 hours either by system consumption or by draining
to overflow tank so as to have minimum 48 hours of flushing
time. To make it clear the low sulphur fuel consumption to
be started 48 hrs prior entering the SECA area for the
complete replenishing of the system with low sulphur fuel.
e) Return line to be redirected to high sulphur service tank to

have complete consumption of high sulphur fuel oil from the
mixing column. Redirect back to mixing column after
confirming complete consumption of the fuel in the mixing
column.
5. Vessel Fitted with dedicated settling and service tank for low
sulphur fuel oil
a) The changeover to be started prior 48 hours to make sure

the complete system with low sulphur fuel oil prior entering
the SECA area.
b) Make sure that the low sulphur fuel oil tanks are not with
high sulphur fuel oil.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
c) Change over calculator can be used for the reference

purpose.
d) Return line to be redirected to high sulphur service tank to

have complete consumption of high sulphur fuel oil from the
mixing column. Redirect back to mixing column after
confirming complete consumption of the high sulphur fuel in
the mixing column.
6. Change over in a short notice
a) Risk assessment for the change over from heavy oil to

MGO to be done when the sulphur content of MGO is less
than 0.1%.
b) Change over the fuel from heavy oil to MGO / MDO having
low sulphur.
c) Drain the service and settling tank of high sulphur fuel oil for
the vessel without having dedicated low sulphur fuel oil
service and setting tank.
d) Replenish with low sulphur MGO / MDO
e) Allow the system to run sufficient time as per the change

over calculator with MGO prior change over to low sulphur
fuel oil.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
7. Fuel oil filter differential pressure to be monitored while

change over.
8. Vessel to use the cylinder oil for low sulphur fuel only if there
is continuous burning of low sulphur fuel more than 300 Hrs
(approximately two weeks continuous operation operation).
9. Kindly specify procedure in step wise with numbering in the

specified procedure page attached herewith.
10. Fuel oil diagram with markings of lines and valves to be

included / attached with this documentation.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
5. Change over procedure of M/E and A/E with sufficient Notice
1. REFERRING DRAWING
Piping diagram in Engine room
2. ENTERING IN SECA
Fuel tanks dedicated to store and manage low sulphur are following:
- FO Storage Tk No 1 C with 100% of capacity of 265.0 M3 will be named LSFO

Storage Tank.
3. BUNKERING OF LSFO
1. Before bunkering operation open filling valves AGT-1, AGT-3 – before/after filter
– AGT-7, AGT-8 from solenoid valve panel in Engine room.
2. Assuming bunkering rate of 80 m3/h, flush the bunker line with LSFO for five
minutes into Tank No 3S by open filling valve AGT-9.
3. Without stop bunkering operation open LSFO Storage tank No 1C and close HFO
Storage tank No 3S.
4. Proceed until bunkering operation completed.
4. Change-over to LSFO during sea passage to SECA
Before entering into SECA following procedure to be applied:
1. Engine room in manned operation.

2. Switch on “MANUAL” mode FO transfer pump and close Settling Tk filling valve
AGT-20 and suction valve from the tank in use.
3. Reducing Settling Tk until 1.0 M3 and Service Tk until 5.0 M3 with ME
consumption.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
4. Once the Settling Tk has been reduced open valve AGT-20 and start filling the
Settling Tk using the LSFO with HFO transfer pump: open valve from LSFO Tk No
1C AGT-153. Start FO transfer pump to Settling Tk.
5. Once the Service Tk reach the minimum safety level (abt 7 M3) start to filling the
Service Tk by FO purifier: open suction valve AGT-72.
6. Record on ORB with generic operation code, date/time/position/LSFO ROB in
each tank/HSFO ROB in each tank and time started change-over of fuel.
7. Record the same as above as soon change-over completed and it is sure that
only LSFO is circulating in the whole plant, before entering SECA.
N.B. For the above mentioned operations the time request will be calculated
using the FOBAS Calculator, according the S% content in HSFO and LSFO.
5. EXIT FROM SECA
For the exit from SECA do not switch ME and AE to HSFO before the SECA border.
Record on the ORB the change-over modalities of entrance (com. 7 of this procedure).
Data to be entered in OIL RECORD BOOK:
- Change-over:
Level of sulphur from ….% (above 1%) to ….% (below 1%)
START: date, time, position (lat & long), LSFO ROB and HSFO ROB for each tank.
- SECA passage start:
Date, time, position (lat & long), LSFO ROB and HSFO ROB for each tank.
- SECA passage completed:
Date, time, position (lat & long), LSFO ROB and HSFO ROB for each tank.
Rev/ Issue: 0/ 01
6. Change over procedure of M/E &A/E in short notice
Change-over to LSFO during sea passage to SECA

Before entering into SECA following procedure to be applied with short notice:
1. Engine room in manned operation.
2. Switch on “MANUAL” mode FO transfer pump and close Settling Tk filling valve
AGT-20 and suction valve from the Storage tank in use.
3. Draining Settling Tk to HFO Drain Tk No 23P: open valve AGT-160 and AGT-61.
Meantime Service FO tank to be use until 5 M3 using Main Engine.
4. Once the Settling Tk has been drained open valve AGT-20 and start filling the
Settling Tk using the LSFO with FO transfer pump: open valve from LSFO Storage
Tk No 1C AGT-153. Start FO transfer pump to Settling Tk.
5. Once the Service Tk reach the minimum safety level (abt 7 M3) start to filling the
Service Tk by FO purifier: open suction valve AGT-72 and start purifier.
6. Record on ORB with generic operation code, date/time/position/LSFO ROB in
each tank/HSFO ROB in each tank and time started change-over of fuel.
7. Record the same as above as soon change-over completed and it is sure that
only LSFO is circulating in the whole plant, before entering SECA.
N.B. For the above mentioned operations the time request will be calculated
using the FOBAS Calculator, according the S% content in HSFO and LSFO.
