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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
