IAPH Audit Tool for auditing bunker facility operators – intake form available for candidate bunker operators

The first version of the fuel-agnostic Bunker Operations Audit tool has been published in October for IAPH members only and is available for ports to meet the growing demand for license applications in multiple fuels such as methanol, hydrogen and ammonia. Looking ahead, operators applying for licenses to operate bunkering facilities in multiple locations will also be able to benefit from this new IAPH tool.

The toolkit ensures that, at the front-end, the responsibilities of the bunker facility operator with respect to safe and sustainable operations are clearly defined and that careful consideration is given to the way bunker operations are organised. Ultimately the tool serves to assess the compatibility of a candidate bunker operator’s safety management system by ports and competent authorities. The essence of the tool is that ports may use this to ensure the quality of bunker operators and hence safe bunker operations in the port.

For candidate bunker operators, an intake form is available for you to fill and submit to the relevant port authority or administration. You can download this by filling in your details and downloading the document
