Electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN)

Through the digitalisation of the bunker delivery process, eBDN is set to tackle several critical challenges in the industry. One key problem we aim to solve is the slow delivery of documentation between bunker suppliers, banks, and financial institutions. Our digital platform will enable swift and secure verification of purchased fuel quantities, eliminating delays and ensuring smooth transactions.

Moreover, our solutions prioritise security, mitigating the risks associated with errors and tampering that often occur with paper-based processes. Financial institutions, recognising the potential benefits of digitalisation, have shown great interest in this endeavour.

Financial institutions will benefit from faster clearance of payments, resulting in improved operational efficiency. The entire bunker ecosystem will experience a significant boost through greater data sharing, leading to more efficient operations and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders.

Automation and digitalisation will enhance the productivity of barge crew by minimising data entry and reducing the administrative burden. By eliminating millions of paper forms per year, we contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly bunkering industry.
