This International Standard 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, acceptance test, bunker delivery and dispute handling.

This International Standard neither governs the legal rights of the parties involved nor supersedes applicable international conventions and/or local legislation(s).

Local and international regulations, such as The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), apply to all parties involved in the transfer of bunkers.
