TFG Marine installs MFM to 15th vessel of bunkering fleet

TFG Marine (TFG), the international marine fuel joint venture founded by Trafigura, Frontline and Golden Ocean, on Friday (23 July) said it has added a mass flow meter (MFM) to the 15th bunker tanker in its fleet.

The firm was recently on board its supply vessel, Sea Emperor in Walvis Bay, Namibia, to oversee the installation and verification of an ISO 22192-compliant mass flow meter, and to provide comprehensive training to the crew on its operation.

TFG Marine said the installation and training was done in collaboration with experts from Swiss-based mass flow meter manufacturers Endress+Hauser Group, and Singapore-based MFM system measurement solutions provider Metcore International Pte Ltd.

“This latest installation marks the 15th vessel in our fleet to be equipped with mass flow meter technology, ensuring our customers receive the most efficient, accurate, and fully transparent marine fuel deliveries available on the market,” the firm said in a social media post.

“At TFG Marine, we remain committed to setting the highest standards and leading the way in modern bunkering operations across every port where we operate.”

It said it was proud that all of its bunkering barges currently operating in Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) are equipped with ISO 22192- compliant MFMs.

“We are well on our way to achieving this across the majority of our supply fleet within the next two years,” it added.
