What is ISO 22192 about?
ISO 22192 specifies procedures and requirements for the transfer of bunkers to vessels by bunker tankers using the Coriolis mass flow meter (MFM) system. It encompasses the process leading to the approval of the MFM system as installed on bunker tankers and post-approval bunkering operation. It covers terminology, specifications, requirements and procedures on metrology, system integrity, metering system selection and installation, MFM system verification, bunker delivery and dispute handling.
ISO 22192 does not alter the contractual obligations of the parties involved in the bunker delivery.
NOTE: Local and international regulations, such as the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) can apply.
