KPI OceanConnect has officially entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pacific International Lines, and SGTraDex, to advance digital bunkering supply chain.
The primary objective of this collaboration is to promote the widespread adoption of electronic Bunker Delivery Notes (eBDNs) and streamline the bunkering ecosystem. The strategic partnership builds upon the recent milestone achieved in supporting Pacific International Lines (PIL) as the first shipping line to integrate Singapore Trade Data Exchange (SGTraDex) platform. PIL has completed more than 40 transactions through SGTraDex.
Launched in June 2022 as a public-private partnership, SGTraDex is a common data infrastructure that facilitates the sharing of data between supply chain ecosystem partners, streamlining information flows through a common data highway where data can be shared in a trusted, secure, and inclusive manner.
By working together, we aim to enhance the adoption of electronic Bunker Delivery Notes (eBDNs) and optimise the bunkering ecosystem, ensuring a smoother and more progressive experience for all our partners.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) launched the digital bunkering initiative on 1 November 2023, becoming the first port in the world to implement electronic bunker delivery notes (e-BDN).
As pioneers of positive change, we are engaging in long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers to develop responsible fueling solutions for now and the future, with the aim of being a leading force in digitalisation within the bunker trader industry.

To remind, it was also recently announced that TotalEnergies Marine Fuels conducted its first digital bunker delivery for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) in Singapore, boosting the efficiency of its bunkering process through digitalization.
