The first Mediterranean port to implement the mandatory use of ISO 22192 certified Coriolis Mass Flow Meters for marine fuel supply.

 The Port Authority of Ceuta has taken a decisive step in modernizing the marine fuel supply industry, becoming the first Mediterranean port to mandate the use of international ISO 22192 certified and calibrated Mass Flow Meters  for marine fuel supply by barge, effective February 2025.

This innovative device ensures a much more precise marine fuel measurement, providing greater transparency and efficiency. The MFM allows the collection of the most accurate and extensive real-time data on the amount of product being transferred, reducing the margin of error and improving traceability in supply operations. The implementation of this technology will minimize discrepancies and disputes between suppliers and shipowners regarding the amount of fuel received, ensuring more reliable and efficient management of bunkering operations. Furthermore, waiting times will be reduced, and productivity will increase, making the Port of Ceuta more competitive and profitable for all the stakeholders.

Introducing the requirement for all deliveries to use MFMs reinforces the Port of Ceuta’s commitment to the modernization and digitalization of the bunker sector, aligning with the demands of the global market and contributing to the sustainability of maritime transport.

“This milestone represents a significant progress in our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational efficiency,” said the Port Authority of Ceuta. “By adopting MFM technology, we are reinforcing our position as a leading Mediterranean port and ensuring a high-quality, transparent service for all our clients.”

With this forward-thinking approach, the Port of Ceuta continues to embrace global best practices, solidifying its role as a key player in the future of marine fuel supply.
