Lloyd’s Register (LR) and measurement solution specialist Metcore have launched an independent accredited certification service to certify the accuracy and reliability of the quantity of fuel received via Mass Flow Meters (MFM). The service provides an additional conformity assessment of the installed meters, positioned, used, maintained and continually certified to the ISO 22192:2021 standard, reports Lloyd’s Register.
Bunker quantities
The demand for greater accuracy in delivered bunker quantities, coupled with the need for greater transparency, security and process automation, is fuelling the widespread adoption of MFMs across the bunker industry. In 2017, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore mandated the use of MFM for bunkering operations.
In the event of a dispute, the service also offers an independent bunker delivery MFM digital data review as part of the investigation process, helping ensure all parties can carry out a detailed review of the data.
Certification service
The MFM certification service is founded on LR’s extensive expertise in fuel quality testing and its conventional bunker quantity measurement service. It delivers a one-stop-shop solution to bunker tanker operators, helping ensure that MFM technologies on their tankers are compliant for bunker deliveries where the MFM has been adopted by the supply company and or the port as a whole.
