The aim of the initiative is to understand whether measures are needed to improve quality and transparency, including the widespread use of flow measurement systems
February 16, 2022
"The ambition of IBIA - explained the president of the association, Henrik Zederkof - is to create greater alignment and transparency between the ports where they take place bunkering services through the use of measuring systems of the flow'. In fact, with the aim of improving the transparency in the bunkering sector and minimising both irregular or unlawful practices both disputes over quantity and quality of fuels supplied to ships by IBIA and Bimco are working to define licenses for the execution of bunkering services that are more effective in this regard and are considering the opportunity to propose the widespread use of flow measurement systems in the ports of bunkering from all over the world.
'The introduction of a licensing system that rewards suppliers of high quality fuel oil - specified the Secretary General and CEO of Bimco, David Loosley - will help improve the level of quality of the fuel supplied and will allow significant savings financial for both shipowners and bunker suppliers'.
