BunkerMetric announced the release of an initial version of BargeTracker; a platform that tracks the movements and activities of bunker barges, globally.
BargeTracker data can be used by operators in the bunkering industry, as suppliers can track whom their customers are buying from, see when an approaching vessel has last received bunkers and even see what their competitors’ barges are doing.
BargeTracker is an analytical platform, which is based on a range of data sources such as AIS data, Geo data, Vessel data and others.
It tracks the movements and activities of Bunker Barges, globally, and identifies such events, for all bunker barges.
Furthermore, it shows who the barge delivers bunkers to, how long was it alongside, where was it before / after, where did it refuel and much more.
BargeTracker also shows average waiting times for vessels lined up for bunkering, before the bunker barge is alongside.
We have been working on and off on this idea for years but have focused on BunkerPlanner, our fuel procurement optimisation product. Now BunkerPlanner has lifted off commercially and at the same time we have strong interest in the BargeTracker from bunkering and shipping industry, so we can dedicate the needed resources to fully mature BargeTracker. We will track +95 % of barge-vessel bunkerings live globally
said Christian Plum, BunkerMetric CEO.
