Nautical Term: GO

Definition of GO

Gas Oil, also known as marine gas oil or MGO, is a type of fuel commonly used in marine engines and boilers. This fuel is similar to diesel fuel used in land vehicles, but it is specifically designed to meet the more stringent emission standards required for marine applications.

For example, a cargo ship’s engine room might use large quantities of Gas Oil to power the ship’s engines and boilers. In this scenario, the ship’s crew would carefully monitor the fuel levels and quality of the Gas Oil to ensure that the ship’s engines and boilers are operating efficiently and safely.
