PetroSpot’s Bunker Experience

We’re excited to share that one of our team members; Beth, recently completed PetroSpot’s three-day Bunker Experience course. This immersive program combined theoretical instruction with hands-on practical experience.
Classroom sessions covered essential topics such as barge operations, fuel quality and characteristics, mass flow meters, and bunker procurement. To complement this theoretical foundation, they embarked on practical experiences, including boarding a bunker barge, participating in tank sampling and measurement, conducting lab testing, and exploring the port of Vlaardingan, observing various vessels and refineries. This intensive course provided a clear understanding of the entire bunkering process.
Beyond the technical aspects, Beth valued the opportunity to network with industry professionals from diverse backgrounds. Sharing experiences and connecting with individuals from various countries and companies fostered a sense of camaraderie and a deeper appreciation for the global nature of the marine fuel market.
