Peart Group to launch Bridge app in February to connect bunker buyers and suppliers

The Peart Group on Wednesday (3 April) said its bunkering app, Bridge, has now gone fully live and ready for buyers and suppliers to connect, chat and fix their bunkers securely. 

The secured business chat-based service provides an end-to-end solution, from source to transaction, on a single intuitive app across multiple digital platforms for marine fuel buyers and suppliers.

The Group said Bridge has been designed by a team with many years of experience in the bunkers market and who possess a deep knowledge of what buyers and suppliers around the world require.  

“Whilst there is an increasing shift to digitalisation across the sector, Bridge differentiates itself from other more operationally focused apps, by enabling the complete bunker transaction, underpinned by full visibility and control, which is particularly valuable for compliance, as well as other areas where transparency is key,” it said in a statement. 

The app was presented to owners, buyers and suppliers, in London, Dubai and Singapore in March, where it was incredibly well received.

Roger Peart, Chairman of the Peart Group, said: “We have started with the transaction itself, helping users to connect, chat and fix, and of course there many more features rolling out in future phases.”

Note: The app can now be downloaded by visiting the website at or from the Apple and Google Play stores.

TFG Marine achieves first digitalised bunker fuel delivery with e-BDN in Singapore

TFG Marine, the international marine fuel joint venture founded by Trafigura, Frontline and Golden Ocean, on Tuesday (5 November) announced its first digitalised marine fuel delivery in Singapore using electronic bunker delivery notes (e-BDNs).

In early November, at the Port of Singapore, its team supplied VLSFO bunker fuel to Pacific Basin Shipping Limited’s Illovo River bulk carrier, marking the first of four bunkering deliveries this month where this new technology has been successfully deployed.

“After months of collaboration with SGTraDex and ZeroNorth, this milestone represents a significant leap in transforming the bunker delivery process—streamlining administrative tasks, enhancing digital documentation and data collection, and contributing to a more efficient and connected bunkering industry,” TFG Marine said in a social media post. 

“We’re especially proud to be pioneering this advanced, end-to-end technology ahead of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)’s mandatory standards set for April 2025, with plans to expand our rollout to other global locations in the coming months.”

“This initiative not only solidifies TFG Marine’s role as a leader in setting new industry standards but also reinforces Singapore’s position as a premier global bunkering hub.”

Manifold Times previously reported TFG Marine announcing it will introduce ZeroNorth’s e-BDNs solution for its customers in Singapore by the end of the year.

Kenneth Dam, TFG Marine Global Head of Bunkering, made the announcement during the International Trade and Fuel Market Trends panel discussion at the 23rd Singapore International Bunkering Conference (SIBCON).

XMAR invites companies to test online bunker trading platform during pilot phase

XMAR on Thursday (17 October) announced the launch of the shipping industry's first comprehensive digital bunker trading platform, now in a closed pilot phase. 

XMAR said its AI-powered platform connects users with a network of over 1,500 verified suppliers across 500 global ports, offering a more streamlined experience for bunker fuel procurement. 

“These figures have been sourced and verified through internal data, ensuring reliability and accuracy. With a single enquiry, users receive multiple competitive offers and gain transparency throughout the purchasing process,” it said in a statement. 

Companies can now join the waitlist on xmar.com to experience the platform during the pilot phase. Early participants will have the chance to help fine-tune the platform while benefiting from features such as 30-day financing and simplified order management.

Unlike conventional bunker procurement platforms, XMAR said the platform is designed to offer more than just data. 

The platform enables users to submit one enquiry and receive multiple competitive offers, significantly reducing the effort involved in coordinating with multiple suppliers. A live chat feature is available for each order, allowing users to receive prompt responses and real-time support.

“XMAR provides full transparency and control over the bunker purchasing process,” said Christoph Stork, CEO of XMAR. 

“Users can manage their orders, documents, and payment deadlines with ease while having access to 1,500 suppliers across 500 ports worldwide. This ensures that users find the best deal and have visibility throughout their order's lifecycle.”

XMAR uses advanced AI tools to enhance accuracy in the trading process, providing users with predictive data and performing checks to ensure reliable transactions. 

“Our AI-driven tools help users make well-informed decisions and enhance the efficiency of their trades,” Stork added. “We are continuously refining these capabilities to offer even more advanced features in the future.”
