Singapore-based marine fuel oil trading firm Opulent Maritime is to partner with ADP Clear to support digital bunkering operations, utilising ADP Clear’s blockchain-based platform as the electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN) system for its fleet of four barges.
The move will ensure compliance with MPA Singapore’s eBDN requirements, delivering improved transparency throughout the bunkering process.
“We are thrilled to implement the Advanced Delivery Platform across our bunkering operations in Singapore. Having tried other eBDN solutions, we feel that ADP is the best product on the market for our needs,” said Matthew Ong, Shipping Manager at Opulent Maritime.
“Our crews and customers find ADP intuitive to use and we are especially impressed with its superior connectivity as well as its offline capabilities which ensure the eBDN process always functions smoothly even when our vessels don’t have access to wireless networks.”
“Cyber security is very important to Opulent Maritime and ADP’s data protection standards and secure blockchain architecture provide us the surety that we need.”
The platform is designed to digitise the entire bunker requisition process, allowing real-time, transfer of bunkering data between all stakeholders from start to finish. Onboard documentation is handled electronically, with all aspects of the bunkering operation, including fuel quality, operational timelines and quantity received, documented and made accessible to permitted users.
This delivers wider access to real-time data on bunkering operations to allow for better scheduling, resource allocation, and improved decision-making throughout the bunkering process.
