Pavilion Energy and DNV have jointly developed a custom LNG digital bunkering solution for employment in the Port of Singapore, one of the world’s largest bunkering hubs
The parties collaborated on the development of FuelBoss, a tailored digital bunkering platform to meet local requirements. As a fully digitalised end-to-end bunkering solution, FuelBoss aims to improve process integrity, data transparency and operational efficiency for customers. This includes digital checklists and electronic bunker delivery note developments.
Launched in early 2021 with a focus on LNG, FuelBoss has been used in over 400 bunkering operations, connecting more than 20 different customers with their bunker suppliers, primarily in Europe. Users also report significant time savings through working digitally, according to DNV.
This joint project follows a co-operation agreement between Pavilion Energy and DNV that was signed in 2021 to digitalise LNG bunkering in Singapore.
“Ahead of our LNG bunkering vessel entering into operation early next year, Pavilion Energy has dedicated our attention to ensuring the marine bunkering processes are managed efficiently, transparently and are as trustworthy as possible,” said Pavilion Group chief executive Alan Heng.
“To this end, we have fully embraced digitalisation in our bunkering operations. With the streamlining and optimising of processes, we are well positioned to partner with our customers in achieving greater efficiency in their bunkering operations,” added Mr Heng.
“We are thrilled to partner with Pavilion Energy on this pioneering initiative, which we believe will accelerate the adoption of digitalisation in LNG bunkering,” said DNV regional manager for maritime southeast Asia, Pacific and India, Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria.
“As the world’s leading and trusted bunkering hub, we welcome Pavilion Energy and DNV’s efforts to develop digital solutions for LNG bunkering to further increase the transparency and efficiency of bunkering operations and provide better assurance to LNG bunker buyers and suppliers in the Port of Singapore,” said Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore chief executive (operations) Capt M Segar.
