Since January 2026, the Mass Flow Meter (MFM) mandates have officially come into force at the Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, marking a defining moment for the bunkering industry. This is not just a regulatory milestone, it represents a fundamental shift in operational standards, transparency, and the evolving responsibilities of surveyors across these key global hubs.To support professionals in adapting to this new reality, IBIA, in partnership with C4 Fuel and endorsed by both ports, is delivering an exclusive one-day course, on 12 May in Rotterdam, designed to equip you with the expertise needed to thrive in this new era of bunkering.
Why This Course Matters As MFM systems evolve from compliance tools into critical evidence systems, everyone, from bunker barge crews and operators to commercial, operations, and management teams, must understand how to operate, interpret, and defend digital fuel delivery data under audit and commercial scrutiny.
What You’ll Gain
Regulatory Clarity
Understand the new framework, including the implications of MID and ISO 22192 compliance, and what these standards mean for daily bunkering operations.
Mastery of MFM Technology Build a solid technical understanding of how Mass Flow Meters function, how they integrate into bunkering systems, and their impact on measurement integrity and trust.
The Surveyor’s Evolving Role Discover how responsibilities are expanding within an MFM-driven environment and learn how to enhance your service offering in a more transparent and data-focused market.
Hands-On Troubleshooting & Optimisation Gain practical skills in diagnosing MFM system challenges onboard vessels and explore ways to optimise bunkering processes for improved efficiency and reliability.
