Singapore as the World’s Largest Bunkering Port

Singapore maintains its position as the world’s largest bunkering port by focusing on digitalisation and decarbonisation to keep pace with the evolving needs of the shipping industry. To support transparency and sustainable practices, Singapore adopted the SS648 bunkering standards, encouraging the shift towards reliable and eco-friendly fuel solutions.

NMC collaborates with MPA to establish a standardised and trusted method for digital bunkering using Mass Flow Meters. This approach enhances data integrity, transparency, and operational efficiency, significantly boosting productivity compared to traditional tank sounding methods. With even a minor measurement error of 0.5% potentially leading to an annual loss of $250 million for trading partners, these advancements are critical for maintaining accuracy in the industry.
