The barge chartered by ExxonMobil to perform mass flow meter (MFM) deliveries of marine gas oil (MGO) in Singapore will be using an MFM produced by the Swiss manufacturer Endress+Hauser AG (E+H), the fuel supplier has told Bunker Index.

Two days ago, ExxonMobil confirmed that it is launching an MFM system for MGO supplies at the Asian port; it followed the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's (MPA) announcement last week that it has mandated that all distillates must be delivered via an MFM system from July 1, 2019.

ExxonMobil worked closely with the MPA during a trial that was concluded in October 2017 and says it is now in a position to launch its MFM system for MGO deliveries ahead of the Singapore deadline.

Bunker Index reported earlier this year that Enddress+Hauser MFMs are the most widely used in Singapore. Back in January, 91, or 61.5 percent, of 148 vessels were using MFMs produced by the Swiss manufacturer, whilst the remaining 57 tankers, or 38.5 percent, had Emerson-branded MFMs installed.
