ExxonMobil introduces mass flow metering for MGO

 The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has set a July 2019 deadline for all distillates to be supplied using such metering systems. ExxonMobil’s first barge deliveries are beginning this month, however, 14 months ahead of the deadline. The company started providing metered heavy fuel oil in 2012.
The MFMS, already successfully tested jointly with the MPA, will enhance the integrity, security and efficiency of MGO supplies. It will provide transparency and traceability by logging data throughout the bunkering procedure, measuring flow rate, quantity, mass and density.  
"Our mass flow metering systems have a proven track record for transparency, helping ensure that vessel operators receive reliable and consistent bunkering," said Luca Volta, ExxonMobil’s Marine Fuels Venture Manager. "ExxonMobil continues to lead the industry in the application of mass flow metering, following on from our successful implementation for heavy fuel oil in Hong Kong and Singapore."
