TFG Marine, a leading provider of marine fuel services, announces the addition of MT Hakkasan to its fleet, equipped with cutting-edge mass flow meter (MFM) technology in Port Louis, Mauritius. This marks another significant addition to the company’s fleet, featuring a fully calibrated, ISO 22192-certified MFM, underscoring TFG Marine’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and transparency of its bunkering operations.
The MT Hakkasan, a bunker vessel operated under the TFG Marine-GRM (Group Roland Maurel) joint venture, is the latest addition to the fleet to incorporate this advanced technology. It joins the growing number of vessels in the region benefiting from mass flow meter systems, setting a high standard for bunkering operations in Mauritius, a rapidly expanding maritime fuel hub in the Indian Ocean.
Enhancing Bunkering Services in Mauritius
The installation of the MFM on the MT Hakkasan follows months of collaboration with TFG Marine’s Swiss-based mass flow meter partners, Endress+Hauser Group, and certification specialists, Metcore International Pte Ltd. Together, these industry leaders have ensured that the vessel meets the stringent international standards, guaranteeing precise and reliable fuel measurement, which is a key requirement in the modern bunkering industry.
This new installation builds upon TFG Marine’s previous success in equipping another vessel with the same technology, reinforcing the company’s dedication to providing the most accurate and efficient bunkering solutions for its global customer base.
A Collaborative Effort to Revolutionize Fuel Measurement
TFG Marine’s partnership with Endress+Hauser, a global leader in measurement and automation technology, has been instrumental in driving this technological advancement. Based in Switzerland, Endress+Hauser is known for its expertise in process and laboratory applications, providing cutting-edge devices that help industries improve their operations while ensuring environmental and safety standards.
Metcore International, based in Singapore, also played a critical role in the successful installation and certification of the mass flow meter system. As an Authorised Verifier under Enterprise Singapore’s Weights and Measures Programme, Metcore ensures that all installations comply with international metering standards, ensuring transparency and trust in every fuel transaction.
Setting New Standards for Fuel Delivery in the Indian Ocean
The addition of the MT Hakkasan with MFM technology is a key development for the bunkering industry in Mauritius, which has emerged as a prominent fuel supply hub in the Indian Ocean. As TFG Marine continues to roll out this technology across its fleet, the company aims to set a new benchmark for marine fuel measurement, helping to drive further growth and sustainability in the region.
