Ofiniti, a DNV company, on Wednesday (19 February) announced FuelBoss, its platform for managing marine fuel bunkering operations, has been whitelisted by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore for the implementation of electronic bunker delivery note (e-BDN) in the republic.

Ofiniti now joins TradeGo, ADP Clear, Angsana Technology Pte Ltd, ZeroNorth (BTS Pte Ltd) and Bunkerchain in MPA’s whitelisted Digital Bunkering solutions providers.

The company said this marked a significant milestone in its journey to bring seamless, digital, and standardised eBDN to the maritime industry. 

“Singapore is the world’s leading bunkering hub, and we are proud to work alongside industry pioneers to drive digital adoption in fuel deliveries using MFM,” it said in a statement to Manifold Times. 

“Thank you to our partners – EMF, Kenoil, and SGTraDex for their collaboration and trust in this journey.” 

Tue Nielsen, CEO, Ofiniti, said: “This milestone underscores our commitment in working closely with MPA and its regional partners. We have invested to make Singapore our regional hub and will continue to further scale FuelBoss to make it a solution used by global customers.”

“We are gaining traction on several pipelines and following our natural expansion to the republic, we will be sharing more developments with the maritime and bunkering sector in time to come.”

Collin Ng, Chief Technology Officer, Equatorial Marine Fuel Management Services Pte Ltd (EMF), said: “We believe that digitalisation is a core pillar in the future of our Maritime Industry that will promote the transformation in our ecosystem in Singapore and beyond.”

“Having supported Ofiniti in their e-BDN live trials, we witnessed their dedication in providing a quality solution to their customers. We look forward to more collaboration opportunities with them in the future.”

Desmond Chong, Managing Director, Kenoil Marine Services, said: “As an adopter of e-BDN, Kenoil has greatly benefited from the Ofiniti team’s unwavering commitment to 24/7 support and their proactive approach to implementing our on ground feedback for continuous improvement. With their dedication and expertise, we are prepared to proceed with e-BDN as a licensed bunker supplier in Singapore.” 

Marcus Law, Head of Business Development, SGTraDex, said: “As one of our key partners in our electronic bunkering note initiative, Ofiniti has been a front-runner in driving greater efficiency, transparency, and digitalisation in the marine fuel sector. We look forward to shaping the future with Ofiniti through seamless and secure data exchange.”

Manifold Times previously reported Ofiniti, formally known as FuelBoss, attracting investment from private and venture capital investors as part of its successful spin out from DNV.
