Ship bunkering operation is a critical procedure on board ships which requires receiving oil safely into the ship’s tanks without causing an overflow of oil.

The quantity of fuel bunker oil to be received in is decided in consultation with the master. In which tanks the oil is to be taken is discussed with the chief officer to ensure proper draft and trim of the ship is maintained and also to avoid mixing of oils as much as practicable.

For this purpose, a pre-bunker conference is held among the ship’s crew, so that everybody understands all the issues involved in marine bunker operation and each one knows his or her duties and precautions that are to be taken to avoid overflow, including actions to be taken in case of an oil spill.
