Choong Sheen Mao, director of Equatorial Marine Fuel Management, believes the bunker industry has been too slow to adopt new technologies.
That is why Equatorial, which delivered 4.5m tonnes of bunkers in Singapore in 2021, was quick to join as a participant in data highway platform SGTraDex.
Efficiencies gained from using the platform, Choong told TradeWinds, could result in savings in the region of 50,000 man-hours as it cuts out many time-consuming manual processes.
