OW Bunker Completes First Physical Supply with Coriolis Flow Meter in Singapore
OW Bunker has completed its first physical supply to a customer using a Coriolis Flow Meter in Singapore, the bunker supplier has announced in an emailed press release.
The delivery of 3,200 metric tonnes (mt) of fuel was carried out using Napamora, a 5600 dwt, double-hulled barge with a pumping capacity of 1,000cbm/hour.
"While we naturally follow the MPA's SS 600 to the letter, we want to take more control of the supply chain for the benefit of our customers," said Paul Bradshaw, General Manager, OW Bunker Asia.
"This means providing the most efficient service possible by ensuring fast turnaround times and optimising the process from order through to final delivery, in conjunction with using innovations such as Coriolis Flow Meters so that the right quantity of products are delivered."
The company is in the process of introducing a physical supply operation in the region, and said that following this successful first supply, it plans to develop further using the Coriolis Flow Meter with a second vessel coming on line in July, followed by a formal launch later in 2013."
OW Bunker says Coriolis Flow Meters are now installed on over 80 percent of the company's global fleet.
