KUALA LUMPUR: The maritime industry in Southeast Asia is undergoing a profound transformation, embracing digitalisation, transparency, efficiency, and sustainability, propelled by advancements in smart fuel management technology. At the forefront of this evolution stands Fueltrax, a leading provider of innovative fuel management solutions, whose Vessel Fuel Management System (VFMS) has been adopted by over 90 percent of deep-sea and offshore support vessels in the region.
Fueltrax’s VFMS is the industry’s premier and patented fuel management solution, offering vessel operators unparalleled accuracy, transparency, and efficiency in fuel usage tracking and emissions monitoring. This robust system, powered by cutting-edge Coriolis smart meters, measures direct fuel consumption and transfers onboard, providing real-time data transmission to Fueltrax’s operations centre for continuous monitoring.
The high adoption rate of Fueltrax VFMS in Southeast Asia underscores the industry’s increasing demand for advanced fuel management solutions that eliminate inaccurate manual practices. Notably, out of 30 vessels that implemented a fuel management system following their oil company’s recommendation, an impressive 28 opted for Fueltrax after a comprehensive evaluation of its effectiveness and cost-efficiency.
“Vessel operators utilising Fueltrax VFMS can assure their oil and gas clientele of a transparent, reliable, and efficient service,” remarked Faiz Azani, Fueltrax’s Director of Operations for Southeast Asia.
“Our system’s hardware reliability, durability, and superior customer support, coupled with transparent pricing, were key factors in their decision. Vessel operators can trust that they are receiving the best value without hidden fees.”
Moreover, Fueltrax VFMS aligns seamlessly with the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) 2050 strategy for decarbonisation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping. By optimising fuel usage and minimising emissions, Fueltrax empowers vessel operators to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable maritime future.
Fueltrax’s dominance in the market is further solidified by a series of major contracts across Southeast Asia, affirming its position as the go-to solution for fuel management systems.
