Marine Fuel Bunker Blending, Bunker Flow Meter & Management Systems
Fuel is the greatest expenditure on board any commercial vessel, constituting 50-70% of total operating costs. For this reason, precise measurement and control of Marine Fuel Bunkering is critical for profitability.
Insatech Marine specializes in Bunker Management Systems (BMS), providing high-precision solutions for both vessels and bunker barges.
Insatech Marine’s Bunker Management System is developed, designed and constructed to act as a safeguard against manipulation of bunkered marine fuel oil as well as counteracting it. By using equipment and methods that deliver high accuracy inline and real-time measurement during bunker operations, any attempt by the bunker service to gain an economic advantage is detected. This ensures you have the upper hand in any possible disputes.
The Insatech Marine Bunker Blending solution ensures accurate blending and delivery of bunker fuel that meets ISO 8217 standards. Using Coriolis-based flow meters, the system measures mass and density directly, allowing precise control over fuel quality and quantity. The result: optimized use of gas oil and automatic documentation for full compliance and transparency.
Traditional volume-based methods, like sounding, are inherently imprecise. Factors such as temperature, density changes, air pockets, and vessel movement introduce significant inaccuracies when calculating the true fuel mass. Even small differences lead to massive costs for ship-owners and operators.
The Solution: Coriolis Mass Flow Meters
Our Bunker Flow Meter solutions eliminate this inaccuracy by using state-of-the-art Coriolis mass flow meters. A Coriolis meter measures the true mass of the fuel, regardless of temperature, density, or air/gas content.
Precision: Ensures the right quantity and quality of fuel is always received or delivered.
Transparency: Provides an immediate, verifiable, and legally robust record of the entire bunker operation.
Dispute Resolution: Mitigates potential transfer disagreements and costly legal disputes.
Choosing a partner for Bunker Management Systems is a decision that directly impacts your bottom line. Insatech Marine offers over 30 years of specialized experience in marine flow measurement and control. Unlike vendors tied to single brands, we areindependent experts who select and integrate the best-in-class Coriolis technology specifically for the harsh marine environment. Our deep technical knowledge ensures not just accurate measurement, but seamless integration with your vessel's existing systems, robust installation, and reliable global support, ensuring your investment delivers maximum returns in fuel cost savings and audit-proof data.
Beyond Measurement: Fuel Optimization
In addition to our core BMS, we offer a high-performance Marine Fuel Bunker Blending System. This solution ensures the optimal viscosity for delivery by using the minimum, but correct, amount ofMarine Gas Oil (MGO) to achieve the required viscosity, further reducing operational fuel costs.
Insatech Marine solutions enhance transparency and control throughout the entire bunkering process, safeguarding your bottom line.
