Manage LNG supplies with DNV GL tool

With suppliers Gasum, Cryo Shipping and Nauticor amongst the confirmed pilot customers, FuelBoss offers ship owners, operators and suppliers a single common platform for nomination, scheduling, spot inquiries and business intelligence.

“The idea behind FuelBoss is to accelerate the uptake of LNG in the maritime industry by providing suppliers with a highly efficient tool for managing all their customers and day to day operations, while offering ship operators a common interface for interacting with LNG suppliers,” explained Trond Hodne, senior vice president at DNV GL – Maritime.

“At the moment, both the interest in and the number of vessels using LNG is growing rapidly, but the bunkering picture is still fragmented. FuelBoss will let LNG suppliers and shipowners reap the network benefits of having a single platform for this growing market,” he added.

Using software developed by Teqplay and free to use, FuelBoss is an integrated tool for LNG bunkering, allowing users to order bunker volumes within term contracts in a standardised format, keep track of changes, communicate through an integrated messaging service and digitally manage documentation from the bunkering process.

The software has been successfully validated and used by LNG supplier Shell and its customers for a year.
