One of the most important aspects of any bunkering operation is the fuel sampling process.  By which a representative sample of the bunker fuel delivery is obtained.

Not only is it imperative to get a trustworthy bunker fuel sample for onboard testing and analysis, but the importance of a suitably drawn and witnessed representative bunker fuel oil sample cannot be over-emphasised. It forms the basis of all discussion, debate or dispute resolution relating to the bunkering. 

The IMO Marpol ANNEX VI regulations have been in force since 2005 and the strings are tightening all the time.  Any lack of certification or failure to be able to demonstrate the necessary IMO Marpol ANNEX VI compliance will effectively bar a ship from international trade.  Kittiwake aim to take the hassle out of IMO Marpol ANNEX VI compliance by offering fully compliant and approved solutions to the worlds fleet.
