ISO 22192 specifies procedures and requirements for the transfer of bunkers to vessels by bunker tankers using the Coriolis mass flow meter (MFM) system. It encompasses the process leading to the approval of the MFM system as installed on bunker tankers and post-approval bunkering operation. It covers terminology, specifications, requirements and procedures on metrology, system integrity, metering system selection and installation, MFM system verification, bunker delivery and dispute handling.
ISO 22192 does not alter the contractual obligations of the parties involved in the bunker delivery.
NOTE: Local and international regulations, such as the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) can apply.
ISO 22192 on Bunkering of marine fuel is relevant to:
In shipping, bunkering refers to the fuelling of ships with marine (bunker) fuels used to power them, and also includes food and drinking water supplies for the crew.
ISO 22192 provides information on metrological requirements, system integrity requirements, meter selection, and installation requirements, MFM system verification requirements, metering procedures required for the transfer of bunkers to vessels by bunker tankers using the Coriolis mass flow meter (MFM) system.
As a user of ISO 22192, you can enhance the efficiency of bunkering operations and promote best practices in the measurement of bunker fuel delivered. Internationally accepted safety standards are provided in ISO 22192 which helps the user to ensure his safety. ISO 22192 sets out the international best practices which document principles, requirements, and procedures in the application of mass flow metering to bunkering.
