Singapore supplier to install mass flow metering system


Bunker barge is due to be fitted with a mass flow metering system for deliveries at the world's leading bunker port.

Brightoil Petroleum has announced that its bunker barge Brightoil 688 is due to be fitted with a mass flow metering system in Singapore.

As a result of the installation, the company says that customers will have "peace of mind and certainty around bunker delivery quantities."

Flow meter technology is designed to allow the supplier to accurately measure the quantity of fuel supplied to a receiving vessel. An ExxonMobil-chartered bunker tanker was the first in Singapore to use a mass flow metering system approved by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) for the commercial transfer of bunker fuel. The fuel transfer between the bunker tanker MT Emissary and Kota Layang took place on July 11, 2012.

In June 2013, OW Bunker completed its first physical supply to a customer using a Coriolis flow meter in Singapore. The 3,200-metric-tonne supply was carried out using Nepamora, a 5600 dwt, double-hulled barge with a pumping capacity of 1,000 cubic metres per hour (cbm/hour).

Brightoil Petroleum (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. was 27th in the MPA's list of bunker suppliers by volume in 2013.
