Understanding the Essence of MFM Systems
MFM Systems are cutting-edge technology solutions that provide real-time monitoring and measurement of fuel oil during bunkering processes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on manual measurements, MFM systems utilize advanced technology based on Coriolis Principle to ensure precise fuel quantity measurements. Such accuracy not only reduces the margin of error but also enhances operational transparency, instilling confidence in both suppliers and vessel operators.
Acreditated Independent Third-Party Providing Certification of MFM Systems for Bunkering
Metcore International is an acreditated independent third-party with the competence and impartiality to perform conformity assessment for certifying MFM systems for bunkering applications with reference to the international standards ISO22192:2021. This ensures that the right approach is taken in the implementation of MFM systems onboard bunker vessels from the very start.
Navigating the Advantages:
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The SOHAR Port and Freezone's adoption of MFM systems has streamlined bunkering processes, significantly reducing time-consuming manual methods and optimizing workflow efficiency.
Accuracy Redefined: The utilization of MFM systems ensures accurate measurement of fuel quantities, mitigating the risks associated with human error and promoting fair trade practices within the bunkering ecosystem.
Transparency and Accountability: By providing instantaneous data on fuel transfer rates and quantities, MFM systems foster greater transparency between stakeholders, eliminating discrepancies and disputes commonly encountered in traditional bunkering methods.
Support by Metcore International in MFM System Certification Program
At the forefront of innovation, Metcore International has been a pivotal player in championing the adoption of MFM systems at the Port of Singapore and now at other major international ports including the fast-rising Sohar Port and Freezone.

During the workshop, Darrick Pang, Managing Director of Metcore International, emphasized on the importance of taking the right approach in using MFM System and highlighted Metcore International's Certification Scheme. Our ISO/IEC 17065 Certification Scheme makes reference to #SS648, #ISO22192 and #OIMLR117 to ensure an impartial approach in evaluating the MFM System, fostering #trust, #transparency and #accuracy. This initiative underscores the SOHAR Port and Freezone's commitment to achieve the highest standards of transparency and accuracy by adopting the best practices and complying with ISO22192:2021 international standards.
Embracing a Brighter Future
Looking ahead, the seamless integration of MFM systems stands as a testament to industry evolution and commitment to excellence. SOHAR Port and Freezone's strategic embrace of this technology underscores its dedication to operational excellence and environmental sustainability, setting a benchmark for other bunkering hubs worldwide to follow suit. Transparency and trust are assured with reference to the international standards adopted and recognized by the maritime community, Therefore, this also saves costs and minimizes the risk of disputes arising from quantity measurement of bunker fuels.
In conclusion, the transformative impact of MFM systems in bunkering operations cannot be overstated. As we witness a paradigm shift towards digitalisation and automation in the maritime industry, the SOHAR Port and Freezone, in collaboration with industry leaders including Metcore International and other leaders in the shipping and bunkering industry, exemplifies a forward-looking approach that prioritizes transparency, trust, efficiency, accuracy, and innovation in fuel supply chain management.
For all stakeholders invested in the bunkering ecosystem, embracing MFM systems is not just a technological advancement but a strategic imperative that paves the way for a sustainable and thriving maritime future.
Together, we are setting the stage for a more transparent and precise bunkering process, reinforcing our leadership in the maritime industry.
