Bunker Tramp

With regulations driving change, the urgency to optimise the bunkering process to ensure profitability and reduce fuel consumption is building.

The challenges facing the bunker space are a mix of increased geopolitical complexity, increasing prices, the influx of new fuel types, and an escalating demand to reduce emissions, as well as the traditionally manual, siloed nature of bunker operations.

In order to successfully overcome these challenges, both energy suppliers, traders and buyers need to be able to navigate through a hugely intricate data landscape.  

Bunker Tramp enables bunker procurement optimisation by connecting buyers and sellers in one end-to-end platform. Powered by data from 35 million tonnes of client transactions and insights from across 170+ ports, it handles general bunker inquiry management from procurement to payment, including contracts, fuel tests and quality reporting, and audit trails. The service also helps buyers match suppliers with ports, manage confirmations, amendments, claims, fuel tests, documentation, and invoicing. 

By guiding operators through executing plans, Bunker Tramp ensures an optimal outcome, not only to positively impact companies’ bottom line, but also to help make global trade green. Our multifaceted platform handles general bunker inquiry management from procurement to payment including contracts, fuel tests and quality reporting and audit trails.
