Digital LNG bunkering

Pavilion Energy and DNV’s digital bunkering platform ‘FuelBoss’ was developed to meet local requirements and incorporates digital checklists and electronic bunker delivery notes.

“Ahead of our LNG bunkering vessel entering into operation early next year, Pavilion Energy has dedicated our attention to ensuring the marine bunkering processes are managed as efficiently; and as transparent and trustworthy as possible,” said Alan Heng, group CEO of Pavilion Energy.

”To this end, we have fully embraced digitalisation in our bunkering operations. With the streamlining and optimising of processes, we are well positioned to partner our customers in achieving greater efficiency in their bunkering operations.”

Digital transformation

This joint project comes on the back of a cooperation agreement that Pavilion Energy and DNV signed in 2021 to digitalise LNG bunkering in Singapore. Since then, both parties have contributed their expertise to improve DNV’s FuelBoss platform.

Over 400 bunkering operations have now been completed through FuelBoss, connecting more than 20 different customers with their bunker suppliers, primarily in Europe, with users reporting significant time savings through working digitally.

“Digitalisation will play a key role in shaping the maritime industry of the future. We are therefore thrilled to partner with Pavilion Energy on this pioneering initiative, which we believe will accelerate the adoption of digitalisation in LNG bunkering,” said Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria, regional manager South-East Asia, Pacific & India, maritime at DNV.

It’s a win-win partnership for the port too.

“We welcome Pavilion Energy and DNV’s efforts to develop digital solutions for LNG bunkering to further increase the transparency and efficiency of bunkering operations and provide better assurance to LNG bunker buyers and suppliers in the Port of Singapore,” said Capt. M. Segar, assistant chief executive (operations) of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
