Bunker Fuel Measurement

Bunker fuel measurement refers to the process of assessing the quantity and quality of fuel used by ships, commonly known as bunker fuel. This fuel powers large vessels and is crucial for maritime operations. Accurate measurement is vital for safety, environmental compliance, and cost management. Techniques include using flow meters to gauge fuel flow and sampling methods to test fuel specifications. Proper measurement ensures efficient fuel use, minimizes waste, and prevents issues such as fuel contamination, which can affect engine performance and emissions. Overall, it’s an essential aspect of the shipping industry’s operations and environmental stewardship.
