Challenge

Manual bunkering measurement methods
are prone to introducing error. Aeration and
fuel temperature also contribute to
inaccurate volume calculations, which
reduces the amount of fuel loaded.

Solution

FuelTrax automatically monitors and
accurately measures both the volume and
mass of fuel during transfer, regardless of
air entrainment or temperature.

Business Impact

• Accurate mass measurement regardless
of air entrainment
• Consistent results from bunker to bunker
• Improved discharge processes
• Fewer disputes and short-delivery claims
• Long term record storage for fast dispute
resolution
• Fuel is ordered by mass and delivered by
mass
• Satisfied customers and crew

“FuelTrax has eliminated delivery
gaps in our business. Our crews
now possess a reliable metering
solution that permits them to
deliver multiple bunker orders
without the uncertainty of stopgauges,
repeated loadings at the
storage facility, and quantity
disputes. The precise measurement
in barrels and metric tons,
top-notch record keeping, and
ease of operation complements
Buffalo Marine’s goal of exceeding
our customer’s expectations.
FuelTrax is a key part of our
business today.”
