XMAR has announced the launch of its highly anticipated digital bunker trading platform, now entering a closed pilot phase. This AI-powered platform is set to revolutionize the way bunker fuel is sourced and managed, offering users direct access to over 1,500 verified suppliers across 500 global ports. Designed to streamline the bunker procurement process, the platform allows companies to efficiently manage fuel purchases, receive competitive offers, and maintain transparency throughout the transaction lifecycle.
“XMAR provides clear and flexible financing options to help you manage cash flow and payment schedules. After a credit check, you’ll receive a line of credit with flexible payment terms tailored to suit your needs.”
A comprehensive digital solution
XMAR’s innovative platform offers a unique and comprehensive approach to bunker fuel purchasing. Through the integration of advanced AI tools, it enables users to submit a single enquiry and instantly receive multiple competitive offers from a vast network of suppliers. The platform is designed to save time and effort by eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple vendors individually.
A key feature of XMAR’s system is the live chat function, available for each order, providing users with real-time support and fast responses from suppliers. This real-time communication aims to enhance transparency and efficiency, offering a seamless experience from initial enquiry to fuel delivery.
Christoph Stork, CEO of XMAR on the platform’s benefits
“XMAR provides full transparency and control over the bunker purchasing process,” explained Christoph Stork, CEO of XMAR. “Users can manage their orders, documents, and payment deadlines with ease, all while having access to 1,500 suppliers across 500 ports worldwide. This not only ensures users find the best deal, but also guarantees visibility throughout the lifecycle of their orders, which is critical for efficiency and decision-making.”
The platform’s AI-driven tools further enhance the process by providing predictive data and performing checks to ensure reliable transactions. These AI tools are constantly being refined to deliver even more advanced capabilities in the future, offering users greater confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their trades.
Supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
One of XMAR’s primary goals is to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a segment often overlooked in the traditionally complex and large-scale bunker fuel market. The platform provides a level playing field for SMEs, giving them access to competitive bunker prices, flexible credit terms, and the same efficiency-enhancing features typically enjoyed by larger corporations.
“Our goal is to level the playing field for SMEs,” said Christoph Stork. “With XMAR, companies can source bunker fuel more efficiently, benefiting from fewer points of contact and a streamlined process where all steps—from offer to payment—are managed in one place. This allows smaller businesses to compete effectively, with fewer resources and reduced complexity.”
The platform’s ability to consolidate orders, documents, and payment deadlines into a single dashboard offers SMEs much-needed operational support, making fuel sourcing a more manageable process. Additionally, XMAR provides flexible 30-day financing options, helping businesses manage their cash flow while securing the best possible fuel deals.
