Ningbo Zhoushan Port awarded AOMC with a contract to install its fuel monitoring system RMS and Flowmeters for eight of its newbuildings in May and November 2020.
The RMS/FM will allow the port to monitor and optimise bunker fuel consumption and efficiency of its tugs and contribute towards emission reduction.
AOMC said it has just finished the boarding commissioning process for four tugs at Zhoushan port in
December 2020 and reports four more vessels scheduled to be commissioned in July 2021.
