TFG Marine has installed an ISO 22192-compliant mass flow meter (MFM) on the Buffalo 404, a barge on time charter from Buffalo Marine Service Inc., according to the company.

The installation represents what TFG Marine claims is the first ISO-certified MFM-equipped bunkering barge operating in the US Gulf, which the company says sets a new benchmark for transparency, accuracy, and operational efficiency in marine fuel delivery across the region.

The installation forms part of TFG Marine's strategy to equip close to 90 percent of its global bunkering fleet with MFMs by 2026. The company describes this as a commitment to improving data integrity, streamlining operations, and strengthening trust in marine fuel transactions.

"Our continued investment in mass flow meter technology underlines our commitment to leading the modernisation of marine fuel supply chains," said Kenneth Dam, Global Head of Bunkering at TFG Marine. "I'm proud that more than 60 percent of our barge fleet already deploys mass flow meters, and we continue to build on this. By ensuring greater accuracy in delivered quantities and eliminating manual measurement discrepancies, we're helping to create a more transparent, reliable, and efficient bunkering process for shipowners and operators globally."

TFG Marine says it continues to work with suppliers, partners, and regulatory authorities worldwide to accelerate the adoption of ISO 22192-compliant MFM technology, supporting efforts to digitalise marine logistics and enhance transparency and traceability in shipping fuel supply chains.

The company has directed enquiries about MFMs or US Gulf delivery scheduling to Aaron Garza.
