Smarter fuel procurement across your fleet
Fuel procurement is often fragmented across systems, emails, and manual processes making it difficult to compare offers, validate deliveries, and maintain consistent governance. This brings planning, procurement, verification, and settlement into a single, connected workflow improving transparency, accuracy, and efficiency across the fleet. It replaces standalone bunkeringsoftware with one digital bunkering platform a complete bunker management system forsourcing, bunker trading and settlement
Bunker Planning Adjustable For Liner Shipping
Fleet-wide planning with commercial precision
Generate and distribute bunker plans across your fleet while dynamically allocating contract volumes to align procurement with operational schedules and pricing strategy.
Bunker Procurement Workflow
Buy better, with full price transparency
Run RFQs, compare supplier offers on total cost price, delivery, and quality and execute every decision inside one auditable workflow.
Delivery Verification And Compliance
Validate quantity, quality and density on delivery
Match BDN and eBDN data against original orders in real time. Flag discrepancies, lab results and density differentials before they become disputes.
Integrated eBDN Into Bunker Procurement
From delivery confirmation to payment automation
Seamlessly transfer eBDN data into procurement workflows to automate order matching, reduce reconciliation risk and accelerate settlement. Native integrations with Veson Nautical (IMOS VIP), AMOS and ShipNet mean approved orders flow straight into your VMS no manual re-entry.
Data security and auditability
Governance built into every transaction
Apply role-based access, approval workflows and complete traceability to ensure every procurement action is secure, transparent and defensible.
Integrated Bunker Claims Management
Close claims faster, with evidence on file
Raise, document and resolve bunker claims inside the same system that captured the order and delivery. Density differentials, quantity shortfalls and lab results are matched against original agreements creating a documented, defensible claims process that protects margin and shortens resolution cycles.
How Bunker Procurement works?
Bunker Procurement runs every stem through live price intelligence, supplier history and emissions impact — so buyers see the full cost of a purchase, including FuelEU and EU ETS exposure, before placing the order. As a digital bunker procurement system, it gives buyers, brokers and traders one bunker intelligenceplatform for sourcing, comparison and settlement.
Live price intelligence
real transacted bunker prices across 170+ ports, refreshed live. Buyers compare against actual market activity, not quoted averages or stale indices.
Emissions priced in
FuelEU intensity and EU ETS exposure are calculated per stem, per fuel grade, per port. The compliance cost is visible at the order, not the audit.
Supplier and stem history
past performance, quality scores and dispute history surface for every supplier on every enquiry. Buyers carry institutional memory, not anecdotes.
Connected across the platform
purchase decisions flow into eBDN for delivery confirmation, into Emission Analytics for filing and into Voyage Optimisation for plan reconciliation.
35M+ MT bunker stems processed. 170+ ports covered. Used by leading buyers globally.
Strong differentiator
The ZeroNorth advantage
Intelligence built for real maritime operations at scale
Carbon cost, priced in.
Every fuel decision is evaluated against live EU ETS allowance cost and FuelEU compliance balance sourced from ZeroNorth Emission Analytics, so the carbon number you buy against is the same one you report. Procurement choices reflect regulatory exposure at the point of purchase, not after the fact.
From stem to settlement fully traceable.
With integrated, MPA-whitelisted eBDN and structured approval workflows, ZeroNorth digitises delivery validation and payment alignment, reducing fraud risk, disputes and reconciliation delays.
Benchmark every transaction against the market.
Integrated pricing intelligence ensures every RFQ and stem is evaluated against live market data reducing negotiation asymmetry and supplier margin opacity.
Control bunker spend with
structure, transparency
and accountability.
Turn your largest operating cost into a commercial advantage. See how ZeroNorth Bunker Procurement digitises fuel buying across your fleet from plan to payment.

How does Bunker Procurement reduce bunker spend?
By increasing competitive tension through structured RFQs, benchmarking supplier offers against real-time market data and optimising contract allocation across the fleet.
Can the system handle both contract and spot fuel strategies?
Yes. Contract volumes are tracked in real time and can be dynamically balanced against spot purchases depending on pricing conditions and fleet demand.
How does the platform help reduce disputes and claims?
Delivered quantities, density differentials and lab results can be validated against original agreements within the system, creating a documented and defensible claims process.
What software manages procurement across multiple suppliers and tracks market rates?
ZeroNorth Bunker Procurement is used by both in-house procurement teams and bunkering brokers. For brokers, it manages the full supplier workflow outbound RFQs, offer comparison on total cost, contract volume tracking, and documentation through to eBDN across multiple suppliers and ports in one system. Pricing intelligence from 200+ ports sits alongside the procurement workflow, so every offer can be benchmarked against what the market is actually trading at in real time.
Does this support regulatory and compliance requirements?
Role-based access control, approval workflows and full transaction traceability ensure procurement decisions are auditable and aligned with governance standards.
Does this support regulatory and compliance requirements?
Role-based access control, approval workflows and full transaction traceability ensure procurement decisions are auditable and aligned with governance standards.
How is this different from using brokers or traders?
ZeroNorth provides full transparency across offers, margins and contract exposure within a digital workflow, reducing dependency on opaque negotiation channels while maintaining supplier flexibility.
How does eBDN integration improve financial control?
Automated matching of eBDN data with original orders reduces reconciliation errors, accelerates payment cycles and strengthens audit readiness.
Is Bunker Procurement connected to voyage optimisation and emissions?
Yes. Fuel buying decisions can reflect voyage performance, operational planning and carbon exposure, ensuring procurement aligns with both margin and decarbonisation strategy.
Which systems track bunker costs and voyage profits in real time across a fleet?
ZeroNorth Bunker Procurement tracks bunker costs at the fleet level aggregating spend by vessel, port, supplier and fuel grade with a live roll-up dashboard. Supplier offers are compared against transaction-backed market data from 200+ ports so every RFQ is evaluated against what the market is actually charging, not a benchmark estimate. Approved orders connect directly to voyage P&L, giving operators a live view of bunker cost impact on TCE across the entire fleet.
Is ZeroNorth bunkering software for buyers, traders or suppliers?
All three. ZeroNorth works as bunker procurement software for in-house buyers, as a bunker trading platform for a bunker trader managing outbound RFQs across multiple bunker suppliers, and as a sourcing workspace for teams comparing offers from each bunker supplier on total cost. Whether you need general bunker software, a single bunker platform, bunker trading software or a bunker fuel trading platform, or simply a faster way to run RFQs, the workflow is the same single auditable system.
How does it solve global fleets' marine bunker fuel sourcing challenges?
Global fleets' marine bunker fuel sourcing challenges fragmented suppliers, opaque pricing and a disconnected bunker fuel supply chain are solved by bringing the whole bunker fuel supply chain into one platform: live pricing across 200+ ports, supplier comparison on total cost, and bunker optimisation that aligns purchasing with voyage plans and emissions exposure. It removes the need for separate bunker consultancy by giving in-house teams the same market visibility in the system itself.
