Bunker Liner

Our solution is crafted meticulously for liner shipping, designed to overcome the complexities of bunker procurement. It handles general bunker inquiry management from procurement to payment, including contracts, fuel tests and quality reporting, and audit trails. Empowering bunker buyers with unprecedented control, Bunker Liner significantly slashes operational costs and paves the way for a reduced environmental footprint, thereby redefining the procurement journey.

Bunker Liner simplifies bunker procurement by seamlessly integrating vessel itineraries, automating order creation, and streamlining supplier negotiations. From planning multiple bunker plans to sending out inquiries, users can manage every stage of the procurement process through a centralised dashboard. The platform enables real-time collaboration with ships, tracks orders throughout their lifecycle, and allows users to compare supplier offers based on cost, delivery, and fuel quality. With automated documentation, digital Bunker Delivery Note integration, and claims management, Bunker Liner ensures accuracy, transparency, and operational efficiency while supporting your sustainability goals.

Our customers can quickly generate multiple bunker plans simultaneously through bulk creation, streamlining their operations and enhancing efficiency. This solution enables the efficient distribution of contract volumes across fleets, supporting strategies to minimise or maximise volume in line with supplier agreements and market conditions. Seamless ship-to-shore collaboration ensures that bunker plans are accurate and precisely aligned with operational requirements.

The solution enables customers to efficiently manage all new, open, and delivered orders, providing full visibility across the procurement process. It allows for the tailoring of seller and physical supplier networks across all ports and regions, supported by a robust contract module that tracks available volumes and automatically calculates final contract prices. Customers can holistically compare supplier offers, consider total costs, delivery charges, and energy/quality trade-offs. Additionally, they can standardise outgoing documents such as spot inquiries and stem confirmations using fully customisable email templates, enabling streamlined and consistent communication.

Allowing for an easy import and viewing of laboratory test results, the solution is aiding in the identification of quality, compliance, or density differential issues. Furthermore, the customers are supported in creation and management of claims against suppliers for any quality or operational issues that arise during delivery, ensuring prompt resolution.

The customers are able to tailor access rights for each user type, ensuring secure and appropriate access to critical information and actions. Optional approval workflows for stem confirmations and amendments enhance accountability and minimise errors. The solution on top maintains a clear, traceable history of all transactions, ensuring full transparency and accountability throughout the process.

The integrated ZeroNorth eBDN streamlines the collection and validation of digital Bunker Delivery Note (BDN) data, ensuring accurate alignment between delivered quantities and original orders. By automating data entry, it eliminates common issues like manual errors, email delays, and their effects on supplier payments. Adaptable to changing markets and stricter emission regulations, the solution ensures compliance and flexibility. As an MPA-whitelisted provider, ZeroNorth offers a unique integration within its procurement system, distinguishing itself for both buyers and suppliers by enhancing transparency and operational efficiency.
