The customer wanted to replace an older metering register with a modern electronic solution that would improve usability while ensuring the vessel could return to service as quickly as possible.
Key project requirements included:
Our engineering team supplied and installed a TEX electronic metering system, integrating it with the vessel’s existing fuel transfer equipment.
Working efficiently onboard the barge, the installation included removal of the existing register, commissioning of the new TEX system and operational testing before returning the vessel to service. The project included:
The upgraded system provides the operator with a modern electronic metering solution designed to improve day-to-day operation while supporting accurate fuel bunkering activities. Benefits include:
With the vessel quickly returned to service, the operator can now benefit from the performance and functionality of the TEX platform while continuing to support marine fuel bunkering operations across the River Thames and surrounding waterways.
By replacing an ageing mechanical register with TEX, Alpeco delivered a modern metering upgrade in just one day, minimising downtime while improving operational performance. We are delighted with the result.
