Flagship vertical

Every bunker transfer, watched while it runs

Greenverse fits an external array at the hose-flange connection between bunker barge and receiving vessel. It reads the transfer as it happens — connection integrity, tank fill, pump condition — and flags a developing fault while there is still time to act on it.

The transfer runs unobserved.

A coupling failure is found once it has happened.

Greenverse finds it before.

The array, installed on a live coupling. No pipework cut, welded or re-certified.

Connection integrity

The pipe between barge and vessel is the single point of failure in every transfer. We read its signature throughout.

Overflow and spill

Tank fill tracked by stage, with alerting ahead of the threshold rather than at it. The objective is to prevent the spill, not to document it.

Pump condition

Mechanical failure mid-transfer is a principal cause of delay. Degradation is flagged before it stops the operation.

Transfer consistency

Pressure and flow confirmed continuously — throughout the operation, not reconciled at the end of it.

Who it is for

Bunker barge operators

More deliveries from the same fleet, and a defensible record of every one.

Vessel owners and fleet managers

Time back on every call, and evidence of what was received.

Port authorities

Live visibility of every transfer in the anchorage and its expected completion.

The problem

Between connection and disconnection, nobody is watching the transfer itself. Coupling failures, overflows and pump breakdowns are discovered once they have already happened, and the record of what occurred is assembled afterwards from paper, telephone and memory.

No one is at the flange. The one place failures originate is the one place nothing is measured.
Detection comes too late. A spill is documented rather than prevented.
There is no shared record. Barge, vessel and port each hold a different version of the same operation.

What is measured

Connection integrity

Coupling and connecting pipe, validated before pump-start and monitored throughout

Pressure and stress

At the flange, live, through the whole transfer

Tank fill

Progression by stage, with alerting ahead of the overfill threshold

Pump condition

Pump, bearing and compressor, monitored during the operation itself

During a bunker operation

One record, three parties. The crew gets a live view and an alert. The operator gets an automatically generated delivery note and post-operation analytics. The port authority sees every transfer in progress and its expected completion, and moves the next vessel accordingly.

Where it is today

An array is installed externally on the coupling of a bunker barge in service at the Port of Gibraltar.
