Global Fuel Supply to adopt FuelBoss by Ofiniti for e-BDN in West Africa

Ofiniti, a provider of digital solutions for maritime bunker operations, on Friday (11 April) welcomed bunkering and marine fuel solutions provider Global Fuel Supply (GFS) to its FuelBoss platform as one of its newest customers.

With the recent deployment of its new barge in West Africa, GFS is set to become one of the first to offer fully digitalised bunker operations in the region – raising the bar for operational efficiency, transparency, and traceability.

In a social media post, GFS said it was proud to be the first physical supplier in West Africa to launch fully digitalised bunker operations with electronic bunker delivery note (e-BDN) via the FuelBoss platform. 

“We are excited to bring digital innovation to our West Africa operations with Ofiniti. This marks a key milestone in our commitment to delivering smarter, faster, and more transparent services to our customers,” said Lamin Bara, Chief Commercial Officer, GFS.

“Global Fuel Supply joining Ofiniti is a great testament to how technology can play a part in enabling expansion into new markets. At Ofiniti, we are confident that the FuelBoss platform can offer increased value for suppliers anywhere in the world,” said Oliver Brix Sparsø, Global Director of Sales, Ofiniti.

Manifold Times previously reported GFS announcing its expansion in West Africa with the launch of its first physical supply operation.

The company’s newly chartered 5,498 dwt bunker tanker, M/V Rlo Explorer, will be stationed at Luanda anchorage in Angola. 

In February, Ofiniti announced it was whitelisted by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore for the implementation of electronic bunker delivery note (e-BDN) in the republic.
