Fuel Additives
Improve your CII Rating
Whether sticking with HFO or transitioning to marine diesel fuels, Innospec has the solution. A mandatory requirement has been passed since January 1, 2020 to use marine fuels with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% by mass. These newly compliant fuels may have different impacts on the operability of your fleet.

By partnering with Innospec, Hostmost promotes solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and sustainability to reduce the environmental impact of marine transportation. Hostmost is the Official Distributor of Innospec Fuel Additives in Hong Kong and South China.

Main Products

Innospec's Octamar™ range of combustion catalysts is recognized by the leading ship classification society ClassNK. ClassNK independently verified the performance of Innospec's Octamar™ Ultra HF, Octamar™ Complete and Octamar™ F35C for improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Octamar™ HF-10 Plus received a ‘Statement of Fact’ verifying its performance in maintaining VLSFO stability.

Octamar™ Ultra HF, along with Octamar™ HF-10 PLUS, are the only additives that protect against both distillate sludge and asphaltene sludge.
Enhances VLSFO performance by improving fuel stability, boosting combustion, and preventing sludge buildup for cleaner, more efficient engine operation.
Advanced fuel stabilizer for scrubber vessels that boosts energy efficiency, cuts emissions, and supports CII compliance.
Dispersant and combustion improver that stabilizes heavy fuel, breaks down sludge, and enhances combustion for cleaner engine operation and fuel efficiency.
Octamar™ HF-10 PLUS, along with Octamar™ Ultra HF , are the only additives that protect against both distillate sludge and asphaltene sludge.
Stabilizes fuel blends, prevents sludge, and ensures safer fuel changeovers, protecting engines and improving combustion efficiency.
Delivers optimum fuel performance by improving lubricity, stability, and corrosion resistance—while protecting against ageing, fouling, and bacteria, even in biofuel blends.
