Singapore: Pertamina International Marketing and Distribution selects ADP Clear e-BDN solution

Pertamina International Marketing and Distribution Pte. Ltd. (PIMD) has selected ADP Clear to implement as its electronic Bunker Delivery Note (e-BDN) solution in Singapore, according to ADP Clear on Sunday (6 April). 

This will ensure full compliance with Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) digital bunkering standards while optimising workflows across its fleet.

ADP Clear said more than 8,000 bunker deliveries have been processed on its platform.

Part of Indonesia’s Pertamina group and focused on marine fuel trading, PIMD aims to actively contribute to Singapore’s marine and bunker industry advancements, promoting technological innovations and sustainable practices to enhance the overall competitiveness and environmental responsibility of the sector.

ADP Clear will provide PIMD with real-time visibility and enhanced transparency, allowing the organisation to optimise its delivery processes and uphold the highest industry standards. 

This approach accelerates PIMD’s growth trajectory to 200,000 metric tonnes (mt) of bunker deliveries per month across five barges, and paves the way for additional expansion and increased market share.

Justin Tan, Trading Manager of PIMD, said: “By adopting ADP, we can enhance operational control, streamline our bunkering process, and reinforce trust within the maritime ecosystem.”

“Moreover, with ADP’s dedicated global support team available around the clock, we have the confidence that expert assistance is always within reach. We look forward to our continued collaboration with ADP in shaping the future of digitalised bunkering.” 

Eunice Low, Business Development Manager at ADP Clear, said: “ADP Clear is proud to collaborate with PIMD in its digital transformation, enhancing efficiency and transparency in bunkering operations.”

“By leveraging ADP’s technology, PIMD is streamlining its supply chain, seamlessly managing over 50 deliveries per month, while driving operational excellence at scale. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for digital innovation in the industry.”

Manifold Times previously reported MPA adding ADP Clear to its list of approved digital bunkering solutions for the implementation of electronic bunker delivery note (e-BDN) in the republic. 

Effective 1 January 2024, ADP Clear joined Angsana Technology Pte Ltd, ZeroNorth (BTS Pte Ltd) and Bunkerchain in MPA’s whitelisted Digital Bunkering solutions providers.

Baleària arranges three LNG bunkering operations on same day in Barcelona

Spanish shipping company Baleària on Thursday (15 May) said it broke an all-time record for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with the bunkering of three of its vessels in the port of Barcelona.

The occasion marked the first time three bunkering operations were carried out on three different ships on the same day at the same port in Spain.

The company said the three vessels were fuelled with a total of 2,320 MWh of LNG by eight tankers. 

Fast ferry Margarita Salas was fuelled by three tankers simultaneously. Ferry Martín i Soler was fuelled by two tankers and ferry Bahama Mama was bunkered by another three tankers also. 

“Our commitment to LNG grew by 184% in 2024. Combined with electric propulsion and other eco-efficiency measures, we have managed to reduce our carbon footprint by almost 10% per passenger,” it said.
