Bunker One, the physical supply unit of Bunker Holding, the world's largest marine fuels firm, will install a mass flow meter (MFM) on its bunker vessel operating in Mauritius.
The Endress+Hauser system will be installed on MT Tulip during its scheduled dry docking in January 2027, the firm said in a recent LinkedIn post.
Once back in operation, the MFM is expected to be used for all bunker supplies in Mauritius.
Bunker One has also renewed the charter of MT Tulip, which will continue operating in the country.
“We are investing in new technology to create more transparency and continue developing our operational set ups to meet our customers’ demands and confidence in every delivery,” Peter Fynsk, Managing Director for Africa at Bunker One, said.
Bunker One supplies VLSFO, HSFO and LSMGO in Port Louis, with deliveries made by MT Tulip and ex-pipe.
MFMs measure the actual mass of bunker fuel delivered in real time, eliminating quantity disputes and improving operational efficiency.
