Beyond paper: Embracing the digital transformation
Electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN)
Experience the power of automation, achieve paperless operations, and unlock the full potential of digitalisation.
Automation and digitalisation
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.
Enhanced security
Our solutions prioritise security, mitigating the risks associated with errors and tampering that often occur with paper-based processes. Our digital platform enables swift and secure verification of fuel quantities purchased, eliminating delays and ensuring smooth transactions. Financial institutions, recognising the potential benefits of digitalisation, have shown great interest in this endeavour.
Swift documentation
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.
