The global maritime industry is increasingly adopting mass flow metering technology to enhance transparency and accuracy in bunkering operations. A recent example is the installation of a marine fuel flow meter on the Hakkasan bunkering vessel in Port Louis, Mauritius, as reported by Bunkerspot. This shift highlights the growing demand for high-precision fuel measurement systems that eliminate disputes and ensure compliance with international standards. Sino-Inst, a leading manufacturer of flow measurement solutions, provides cutting-edge fuel flow meters for boats and large vessels, helping operators optimize efficiency and reduce financial losses.
The Role of Mass Flow Meters in Modern Bunkering
Traditional bunkering methods often lead to discrepancies due to volume-based measurements, which are affected by temperature and density variations. In contrast, Sino-Inst’s marine fuel flow meters utilize Coriolis mass flow technology to measure fuel by mass rather than volume, ensuring ±0.2% accuracy. This is critical in ports like Mauritius, where fuel suppliers and vessel operators require trusted, fraud-proof systems for fair transactions. With stricter regulations emerging worldwide, fuel flow meter marine solutions are becoming essential for compliance and operational efficiency.
