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.”
