Metcore International Pte Ltd (Metcore), a Singapore-based MFM system measurement solutions provider, announced that it has received accreditation for ISO/IEC 17065:2012 Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, process and services from the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) on 1 December 2022.

The newly attained status allows Metcore to provide certification of a MFM system under its very own certification scheme, learned Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times.

“We are proud to be an accredited certification body to provide certification of the MFM system under ISO/IEC 17065:2012 Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, process and services,” said Darrick Pang, Managing Director of Metcore.

Mr. Pang added: “Our certification scheme encompasses the testing and certification of a MFM system in conformity with the requirements of relevant standards, including ISO 22192:2021 – Bunkering of marine fuel using the Coriolis MFM system, SS 648:2019 – Code of practice for bunker mass flow metering and OIML R117:2019 – Dynamic measuring systems for liquids other than water.”

Accreditation enhances the credibility of assessment bodies in activities, such as testing, calibration, inspection and certification. Benchmarked against international standards, it ensures the competency, impartiality and performance capability of the Conformity Assessment Body services.

Metcore highlights its commitment to safeguarding and assuring the impartiality of its conformity assessment activities at its own operational levels. This directive ensures the testing and certification team operates with balanced views and representations from interested parties, without permitting any one interest to predominate.

“Metcore has been at the forefront in providing services for MFM systems for bunkering application, with a proven track record and relevant capability in various aspects of testing and evaluation of the bunker MFM. Hence, evolving into an accredited certification body is a straightforward notion,” explained Daryl Lim, Quality Manager at Metcore.

“Accreditation helps to build trust in conformity assessment services in bunkering application.  The bunkering industry is aware that the adoption of MFM systems for bunkering application is the way forward in enhancing transparency and trust for all related stakeholders,” emphasised Mr Lim.

“Moving forward, this accreditation would help to ensure ‘Peace of Mind’ for Metcore’s customers when using the MFM approach for measurement of bunker fuel; especially in operations requiring continuous reliance on the technology to provide accurate, transparent, and traceable measurement of marine fuel,” noted Mr Pang.

“This accreditation will only strengthen the integrity of the MFM system in conformity to the relevant standards, benefiting entire bunker chain and related stakeholders as a whole,” he said.

MOL inks bio-LNG bunker fuel supply deals with Titan and Axpo for car carriers in Europe

Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) on Thursday (18 July) said it has signed new supply agreements in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean region to expand the use of bio-LNG marine fuel on MOL-operated LNG-fuelled car carriers.

Titan, part of Amsterdam-based Molgas, will continue to supply bio-LNG fuel in Northwest Europe, while Axpo will take charge of supply in the Mediterranean region.

MOL said the agreement makes it possible for its company to supply bio-LNG fuel for automobile carriers in the Mediterranean region, specifically Port of Malaga and Barcelona in Spain, following the bio-LNG fuel supply agreement in Western Europe, which commenced in March last year.

The bio-LNG fuel to be supplied in this initiative has a lifecycle carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy consumption) of -15 g-CO2/MJ or less, from production through consumption. Furthermore, this bio-LNG fuel has obtained International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC-EU). 

“Through this supply agreement, MOL has established a framework that ensures a continuous and stable supply of bio-LNG fuel not only in Northern Europe but also in the Mediterranean,” the company said.

As part of the group’s efforts to adopt alternative fuels and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is utilising LNG-fuelled vessels as a bridge solution to facilitate the transition to carbon-neutral fuels such as bio-LNG and synthetic LNG (e-methane).

In 2025, MOL signed a bio LNG fuel supply agreement in Northwest Europe with Titan, part of the Molgas, and MOL has continued this bio LNG fuel supply agreement with the same company in 2026 as well.
