A new technology venture has completed the first trial of a system that uses synthetic DNA tracers to reduce the risk of fuel contamination ahead of IMO 2020.
BunkerTrace also uses blockchain to manage risk for bunkering operations.
The company, a joint venture between technology firms Forecast Technology and BLOC, used 900 cbm of ISO 8217:2010-compliant fuel supplied by Minerva with a unique tracer added.
