The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) continues to advance its Digital Bunkering initiative by expanding its list of whitelisted solutions. TradeGo is the latest addition, marking the fifth entrant to this esteemed list and further propelling the digitalization drive within the bunkering Industry.
The inclusion of TradeGo comes as part of MPA’s Digital Bunkering initiative, which aims to revolutionize bunkering processes and documentation. Initiated in July 2023, this endeavor seeks to digitize various aspects of bunkering operations, including the transition from traditional bunker delivery notes (BDNs) to electronic bunker delivery notes (eBDNs), as affirmed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The overarching goal of the Digital Bunkering initiative is threefold:
- to enhance operational efficiency by streamlining processes and automating tasks,
- to improve transparency by ensuring data integrity and visibility,
- and to bolster crew safety by minimizing physical interactions during bunkering operations.
Additionally, the initiative facilitates seamless Business-to-Government regulatory reporting, with bunkering-related information automatically transmitted to MPA following each operation.
MPA’s whitelist of Digital Bunkering solutions ensures adherence to bunkering standards, cybersecurity protocols, baseline functionality, risk management measures, and regulatory reporting requirements. Companies involved in bunkering operations are encouraged to explore these solutions for their transformation endeavors.
TradeGo joins the ranks of whitelisted solution providers, offering a robust digital platform to facilitate bunkering processes. TradeGo, presents a comprehensive solution within the digital bunker ecosystem, empowering stakeholders with efficient, transparent, and secure bunkering operations.
