TFG Marine recently announced the installation of ISO 22192-certified mass flow meters (MFMs) on two of its bunker barges, the Buffalo B414 and Buffalo B304, which operate in the US Gulf. These vessels received their ISO certification last month, marking a significant step in the company's efforts to improve bunkering operations.
This move is part of TFG Marine's wider strategy in North America to drive progress within the regional bunkering industry. The adoption of ISO-certified MFMs is crucial for ensuring accurate and transparent fuel delivery, which benefits both suppliers and customers by reducing disputes over delivered quantities and improving operational efficiency.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development signifies increased reliability and transparency in the bunkering process in the US Gulf. Accurate fuel measurement can lead to more precise cost calculations and reduced potential for disputes, ultimately streamlining vessel operations and potentially impacting bunker fuel procurement strategies. This standardization helps ensure that vessels receive the exact amount of fuel paid for, contributing to better voyage planning and cost management.
