The increasing need for precise bunker quantity measurements and a transparent, secure, and automated process is driving the adoption of Mass Flow Meters (MFM) in the bunker industry.

Over the last ten years, the use of MFM systems has grown significantly, thanks to digital advancements that have improved measurement efficiency and accuracy. This progress has bolstered the dependability and uniformity of fuel transactions, fostering enhanced industry standards and trust.

MFMs offer the promise of resolving disputes over bunker quantities, reducing turnaround times, and reinforcing confidence in delivery data, which is particularly important as ship operators monitor fuel emissions. While the benefits of MFMs are clear, the practicalities of implementing them can be complex.
