ARACON2025 conference in Rotterdam

“Whilst a positive and much-welcomed step forward for Europe’s main bunkering hubs, we believe that it is essential that the mass flow meter systems being introduced at the Ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp from January 2026 are fully aligned with ISO 22192 standards and implemented with consistency and rigour.“

 
That was the message from Chia How Khee, Global Fleet Manager at TFG Marine, speaking on the “Evolution of the ARA Bunker Market” panel at this week’s ARACON2025 conference in Rotterdam.

 
Khee added: “Ports such as SOHAR, Ceuta and Singapore have already demonstrated the value of applying this standard achieving improved accuracy, transparency and trust in bunker delivery measurement. As leading supplier active across these locations, we at TFG Marine see first-hand the benefits of ISO 22192 implementation in driving digitalisation and strengthening integrity across the global bunkering supply chain.”

A big thank you to everyone who joined us in Rotterdam for the engaging discussions and shared commitment to building a more transparent, standardised and innovative future for the global bunkering industry.

 
We welcome the ARA region’s proposed measures as a constructive step towards greater transparency, though much will depend on how consistently and rigorously the systems are implemented. We look forward to seeing their introduction in January 2026 and to continuing to work with industry partners to strengthen alignment and trust across the global bunkering market.
