Big Bunker Business News! Vitol Bunkers goes digital for their bunker barges with ZeroNorth’s eBDN solution. Their 12 barges operating in Singapore go live on 12 July, in line with MPA's initiative to be a digital bunker port. ZeroNorth is pleased to support both Vitol's and MPA’s ambitions with our eBDN solution, now with commitments from 98 barges globally. Speaking about this, Rishab Bahl, Managing Director at V-Bunkers, added: “Adopting ZeroNorth’s eBDN solution has marked a step change in our bunker delivery processes. Aligned with our objective to reduce emissions through greater operational efficiencies, it will allow us to optimise our operations and enhance collaboration with bunker buyers, allowing all stakeholders to minimise costs, achieve greater data accuracy and avoid delays. “We believe the roll-out of eBDN in Singapore and globally will be an accelerant for identifying further opportunities to digitalise critical information about the fuel. In the years to come the regulatory requirements including proof of sustainability will put significant administrative burdens on both the buyer and the suppliers; here eBDN can play a valuable role.” And Mr Yi Han Ng, Director (Innovation, Technology & Talent Development) at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), said: "Digital bunkering can boost the efficiency and transparency of the bunkering process in Singapore. Since the launch of the digital bunkering initiative last November, the MPA is encouraged to see more licensed bunker suppliers, ship owners, and operators, including Vitol Bunkers, adopting digital bunkering solutions. Using whitelisted solutions, including ZeroNorth’s solution, to complete and issue digital bunkering documents can help save many man-days per year, which companies can redirect to other value-added work.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/guTbVHKx #Digitalization #eBDN #Bunker #Optimization #Announcement
