Bunker Pre-Test – Ensuring Fuel Quality Before Delivery

Eliminate Surprises. Ensure Compliance. Protect Your Vessel.

Bunker pre-testing provides critical quality verification before fuel is delivered to your vessel, preventing costly surprises and operational risks. By testing fuel before discharge, ship operators can ensure compliance with ISO 8217:2024 standards, detect potential contaminants, and avoid delays or damage caused by off-spec fuel.

💡 Pre-testing also allows vessels to use fuel immediately upon bunkering—especially crucial when alternative fuel is unavailable.

How the Process Works

✔ Client request – We coordinate directly with the agent/supplier to arrange pre-testing.
✔ Surveyor boarding – Our certified bunker surveyor boards the barge before delivery.
✔ Sample collection – Representative fuel samples are taken directly from the barge tanks.
✔ Laboratory testing – Samples are sent to our ISO/IEC 17025:2017-certified laboratory for rapid analysis.
✔ Pre-bunkering report – A detailed fuel quality report is provided to the client before discharge begins.

Why Choose Bunker Pre-Testing?

✔ Ensures fuel meets quality specifications before delivery
✔ Prevents costly delays or operational issues due to off-spec fuel
✔ Enables immediate fuel use—critical when no alternative fuel is onboard
✔ Protects engine performance and compliance with regulatory standards
