Golden Island switching to 100% e-BDN operations

Singapore bunker supplier Golden Island Diesel Oil Trading Pte Ltd (Golden Island) will be fully adopting the electronic Bunker Delivery Note (e-BDN) for commercial bunkering operations from 1 December 2023 onwards.

According to Bunker Programmer Sam Kang, Golden Island started its first internal e-BDN trial using the solution from BTS Pte Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZeroNorth) on 2 November 2022.

The company is now ready to adopt e-BDN into its operations after a year’s worth of testing the solution together with assistance from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

Yamano, meanwhile, expects the implementation of e-BDN to save at least two hours of manual data entry work for involved personnel per day.
