BIMCO’s analysis shows significant geographical differences when it comes to VLSFO sulphur compliance and ISO 8217 quality problems

14 September 2022

BIMCO, together with the other industry organisations, acquired data on all commercial fuel samples tested by Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) during 2020. This VPS data clearly shows the geographical differences between the standard of the fuels delivered to ships. Europe and the US seem to have the poorest performance. This is both in relation to sulphur compliance which may lead to increased air pollution, and ISO 8217 quality parameters, which may impact the safety of ships. BIMCO is providing IMO with data on very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) sulphur compliance and ISO 8217 fuel quality problems. The submissions include an invitation to countries to consider implementing and enforcing a licensing scheme for bunker suppliers operating within their jurisdiction. Such a measure should help combat the high level of problems in some of the poorer performing geographical regions.

From paper to golden sources: how digitalisation can create a more secure shipping industry

20 April 2023

In the wake of recent high-profile frauds, building trust and transparency has become an urgent priority for the bulk shipping industry. Digitalisation is a key tool in achieving this goal, as it allows for the creation of multiple "golden sources" of data that promote end-to-end integrity – reducing the risk of fraud and driving sustainable growth. This article is by Oswald Kuyler, Chief Operating Officer at MonetaGo. See him at our webinar " Reducing fraud through digitalisation " on 9 May.

BIMCO launches initiatives to address shipping’s plastic footprint

17 June 2021

With discussions at the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) meeting (held 10 to 17 June 2021) on sea-based sources of marine plastic delayed until the end of the year, BIMCO is looking at what the shipping industry can to do reduce its plastic footprint to ensure momentum is not lost in the absence of formal discussions at the IMO.
