India's MRPL offers first 0.35% sulfur fuel oil cargo for export Mangalore Refining and Petrochemical Ltd. has offered its first 0.35% sulfur fuel oil cargo for export via tender after a recent change in its crude feedstock slate, according to the company's Integrated Trading Desk, as the Indian refiner looks to maximize revenue for its very low sulfur fuel oil sales.
