SOHAR Port and Freezone (SOHAR) in Oman has formalized an agreement with Metcore International Pte Ltd (METCORE) for the implementation and training support for Mass Flow Meter (MFM) systems in the Port of Sohar.
SOHAR Port and Freezone in February 2024 announced a mandate on the alignment of ISO 22192 standards ‘Bunkering of marine fuel using the Coriolis MFM system’ for all marine fuel supply operations within the port. In response to this directive, SOHAR is actively collaborating with Metcore to deliver targeted MFM initiatives.
The collaboration is aimed at introducing the use of MFM systems for bunker fuel measurement to bunkering operators and stakeholders operating within Port of Sohar
We are very supportive in taking the right approach for MFM system implementation with harmonised best practices and in conformance with ISO 22192 standards.
… said Darrick Pang, Managing Director of Metcore
Meanwhile, commenting on this agreement, SOHAR Harbour Master Captain Batti Al Shibli added that aligned with ISO 22192 standards, this partnership revolutionizes bunker operations, ensuring transparency and precision.
What are Mass Flow Meters?
The automated MFM system is meant to dispense with conventional sounding of the MFO in bunker tanks as the quantity of oil transferred from the bunker vessel to the receiving vessel will be automatically measured by the MFM device as the oil passes through the device.
