At SGMF, one of our core objectives is to support the safe and sustainable use of alternative fuels, and compatibility assessments remain a critical part of every LNG bunkering operation. However, much of today’s process is still fragmented, manual and repetitive, with vessel data exchanged over email and safety checks carried out independently.

To help address this, SGMF is partnering with Ofiniti to simplify and standardise LNG bunker compatibility assessments. Together, we are developing standardised vessel data templates and automated compatibility checks, building on SGMF’s previous work and industry best practice.

As part of this collaboration, BASiL will be integrated directly into Ofiniti’s FuelBoss platform. This will allow compatibility checks and BASiL calculations to sit within the same workflow already used by many operators for scheduling, safety checklists and eBDN processes, removing the need for double entry and reducing manual administration. Our shared ambition is to create a more consistent and efficient process across LNG operations, while maintaining the highest safety standards and reducing the potential for errors.

This development will involve a transition phase, and we will be sending further updates to provide further information, discuss next steps and support a smooth transition.

We appreciate the collaborative approach with Ofiniti and look forward to sharing more updates as the project develops.
