Mass flow meter bunkering systems for marine fuels

Maximum transparency and reliability with a certified solution for bunker fuel measurement

With the large quantities of bunker fuel pumped into the fuel tanks of tankers, bulk carriers, cargo ships and fishing vessels every day, reliable bunker fuel metering systems are indispensable. Even the slightest inaccuracy in bunkering leads to undesirable extra costs due to incorrect billing and consequently to unwanted disputes between supplier and buyer. This is why Endress+Hauser offers reliable mass flow meter (MFM) bunkering systems capable of accurately measuring aerated fuel oil.

  • Around 60%

    of a ship’s operating costs can be fuel costs

    Endress+Hauser provides a certified solution, based on the tried-and-tested Coriolis mass measurement, to monitor the quantity and quality of marine fuels precisely during bunkering operations. By eliminating problems with traditional measurements and ensuring that occurring air pockets when emptying tanks are correctly detected and included in the measurement, our mass flow meter bunkering systems ensure maximum transparency during the bunker process.

How we can help

Our sophisticated and reliable bunker fuel metering solution ensures transparent and highly accurate bunkering. Aggravating and time-consuming processes for resolving bunker disputes can thus be avoided.

  • Gain confidence as well as guaranteed profitability thanks to accurate and indisputable billing of the delivered bunker fuel quantity

  • Increase transparency by monitoring multiple process parameters simultaneously throughout the entire fueling process and detect air pockets, as well as potential "cappuccino effects" that occur when stripping tanks

  • Benefit from higher and sustainable efficiency with shorter idle times thanks to accurate direct mass measurement without the necessity of converting volume

  • Rely on unlimited security with a measuring solution certified in accordance with MID (MI-005) and recognized for commercial use by the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore under SS600

  • Save time with easy operation and optimal control with a user friendly control panel that lets you track important parameters directly or print them out at any time to be used as evidence in case of ambiguity

  • What we offer

    Our measuring solution offers a high degree of security. Both the individual devices and the entire solution are sealed after installation and thereby protected from unintentional modifications. In addition, all of our devices are certified on...
