BluePass and XMAR join forces to launch UAE digital bunkering platform

Digital bunker platform XMAR on Tuesday (6 May) said it has entered a strategic partnership with BluePass, the UAE’s leading maritime digital initiative supported by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI). 

The partnership positions XMAR as the exclusive technical engine behind the newly launched bunkering service from BluePass, which is a “first-of-its-kind” digital solution in the region. 

Under this agreement, XMAR will power a version of its advanced trading interface under the BluePass brand. Through this integration, BluePass members gain real-time access to bunkering data, transparent pricing, procurement processes, and a growing network of vetted bunker suppliers and traders. 

Hans-Christian Mordhorst, CEO at XMAR, said: “Partnering with BluePass places XMAR at the heart of the UAE’s digital transformation in maritime logistics. We are proud to deliver the technology backbone for a solution that will reshape bunker procurement across the GCC.”

BluePass CEO Capt. Rami Al Breiki, said: “This collaboration is a perfect example of how partnerships can drive innovation. With XMAR’s bunker platform integrated into BluePass, we’re delivering unmatched efficiency and access to premium services that have never been available before on any government digital platform”.

NeoNautica, the operating partner behind BluePass, will drive onboarding and regulatory coordination, leveraging its governmental relationships and maritime expertise.
