XMAR launches digital bunker platform
XMAR has launched the shipping industry’s first comprehensive digital bunker trading platform, currently in a closed pilot phase.
This AI-powered platform connects users with over 1,500 verified suppliers across 500 global ports, streamlining the bunker fuel purchasing process. Users can make a single enquiry and receive multiple competitive offers, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
“XMAR provides full transparency and control over the bunker purchasing process,” explained Christoph Stork, chief executive of XMAR.
“Users can manage their orders, documents and payment deadlines with ease, ensuring they find the best deal and have visibility throughout their order’s lifecycle.”
Unlike traditional procurement platforms, XMAR provides more than just data, offering a live chat feature for real-time support.
“Our AI-driven tools help users make well-informed decisions and enhance the efficiency of their trades,” added Stork. “We are continuously refining these capabilities to offer even more advanced features in the future.”
Designed with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind, XMAR aims to level the playing field in a market often dominated by larger corporations.
“With XMAR, companies can source bunker fuel more efficiently while benefiting from fewer points of contact and a streamlined process where all steps—from offer to payment—are managed in one place,” said Stork.
