Longstanding commitment to bunkering accuracy and transparency recognized by the Marine Department

Hong Kong, June 12, 2026 — Chimbusco Pan Nation (CPN) announced today that its bunker barge, Zhong Ran 23, has become the first vessel in Hong Kong listed on the Marine Department’s (MD) official List of Quality Bunker Vessels under the Quality Bunker Operator Scheme, which was officially launched on June 3, 2026. The voluntary scheme aims to encourage bunker operators to install and use Mass Flow Meter (MFM) systems on their bunker vessels, with the goal of enhancing bunkering accuracy, transparency, and service quality across Hong Kong’s maritime industry.

To be listed, a bunker vessel must have its MFM system inspected and certified by an accredited third-party organization in accordance with ISO 22192, the international benchmark standard for mass flow metering in bunkering operations and must also meet the MD’s technical and operational requirements. CPN has installed and operated MFM systems across five of its fuel oil barges since 2015, reflecting the company’s belief that accuracy and transparency form the foundation of trusted client partnerships. The recognition of Zhong Ran 23 under the Scheme reflects this longstanding commitment.

Looking ahead, CPN will continue to work closely with regulatory authorities and industry partners to enhance service quality, operational reliability, and transparency, and to further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as an international maritime center.
