A growing issue

Fuel quality is an ever increasing issue.

Issues related to higher quality fuel are in the spotlight like never before, as they ultimately have an effect on the following areas:

• Global supplies of low-sulphur bunker fuel have in the past shown problems with certain quality parameters, highlighting the need for monitoring of information on consistent fuel quality sourcing.
• Monitoring fuel quality makes it easier to source quality fuels, therefore making it easier to comply with stringent environmental regulations.
• In addition, many companies are turning their attention to better mitigating the risk to operations from poor quality fuel, which can potentially lead to wear and tear and increased maintenance expenses of the engine.

The quality information support tool has been developed for companies wanting to monitor the fuel quality parameters of fuel, alowing you to make more informed management decisions regarding the sourcing of quality fuel.

The tool will allow you to monitor fuel quality by region and at a port level. You can look for regional alerts, which will signal when you may need to consider carrying out appropriate additional fuel quality tests when bunkering.

Access to the Qualty module is available through the Bunkerworld Plus and Bunkerworld Pro packages. It is also available separately.
