Metcore International Pte Ltd (METCORE) has announced it has formalised an agreement with SOHAR Port and Freezone (SOHAR) in Oman for the implementation and training support for mass flow meter (MFM) systems in the Port of Sohar.
The collaboration is aimed at introducing the use of MFM systems for bunker fuel measurement to bunkering operators and stakeholders operating within Port of Sohar, METCORE said in a statement today (26 April).
Earlier this year, SOHAR Port and Freezone announced a mandate on the alignment of ISO 22192 standards ‘Bunkering of marine fuel using the Coriolis MFM system’ for all marine fuel supply operations within the port. In response to this directive, SOHAR is actively collaborating with Metcore to deliver targeted MFM initiatives.
‘We are very supportive in taking the right approach for MFM system implementation with harmonised best practices and in conformance with ISO 22192 standards,’ said Darrick Pang, Managing Director of Metcore.
‘We are honoured to bring our expertise to support SOHAR Port and Freezone in its upward trajectory as among the world's fastest-growing port with free zone developments.’
SOHAR Harbour Master, Captain Batti Al Shibli, said: ‘SOHAR Port and Freezone take a major step forward by implementing cutting-edge Mass Flow Metering Systems (MFM) with Metcore International Pte Ltd.
‘Aligned with ISO 22192 standards, this partnership revolutionises bunker operations, ensuring transparency and precision. Our agreement includes advanced MFM deployment, staff training, and conformity assessment programs, setting a new standard for excellence in bunkering management.’
The inaugural Oman Maritime, Ports and Energy Forum, which take place in September, in will showcase the Sultanate’s key port, shipping and bunkering infrastructure. For more information, click here.
