Physical bunker supplier Bunker One plans to measure all its Mauritius deliveries with a mass flow meter once its tanker returns from dry dock early next year.

The company has scheduled the installation of a mass flow meter (MFM), supplied by Endress+Hauser, on its tanker Tulip during the vessel’s dry docking in January.

Bunker One has also renewed its charter of the Tulip. Once the vessel is back in operation, the company plans to use the MFM for all its bunker supplies in Mauritius.

“We are investing in new technology to create more transparency and continue developing our operational set ups to meet our customers’ demands and confidence in every delivery,” said Peter Fynsk, Bunker One’s managing director for Africa.

Bunker One is not the first supplier to bring the meters to Port Louis. TFG Marine began work in April 2024 to fit an MFM on the bunker barge Hakkasan, run by its joint venture with Group Roland Maurel.
