Provides data on hydrocarbon partition and depletion patterns in cold seawater WAF
Highlights greater solubility of SAB fuel in cold water compared to MGO and IFO 180
Light aromatic hydrocarbons remain in MGO and IFO 180 WAFs for up to 96 h.
Heavier hydrocarbons persist beyond 168 h with 29% of initial THC in IFO 180 WAF.
Provides improved basis for estimating risks of fuels to Antarctic marine life
