Bunker Tanker Fleet Compliance Program

Neohance supports a fleet of six bunker tankers operating in Panama through a comprehensive annual maintenance, inspection, and certification program.

By maintaining the fleet’s critical safety, environmental, and monitoring systems, we help keep the vessels compliant, operational, and prepared for inspections throughout the year.

The Challenge

Bunker tankers operate under strict safety and environmental requirements. The reliability of onboard monitoring and protection systems is essential for maintaining vessel safety, preventing pollution, and avoiding operational disruptions.

Regular inspection, calibration, testing, and certification are therefore critical to ensure that every vessel remains ready for daily operations and regulatory inspections.

Our Scope

Under the annual service agreement, Neohance performs maintenance, testing, troubleshooting, calibration, and certification across a wide range of onboard systems, including:

• Fire detection systems
• Fixed gas detection systems
• Tank level monitoring systems
• Alarm monitoring systems
• Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment
• 15 ppm oily water monitoring systems
• Safety and environmental compliance equipment

Preventive Maintenance and Compliance

Our preventive maintenance approach helps identify potential issues before they result in system failures, vessel downtime, detention, or emergency repairs.

The program supports compliance with relevant requirements, including:

• IMO regulations
• MARPOL requirements
• Flag State requirements
• Classification society standards
• Port State Control inspections

Maintaining these systems across the entire fleet gives the operator greater confidence that each vessel remains compliant and prepared for audits and inspections.

Long-Term Fleet Support

Because Neohance services the vessels on a recurring basis, our engineers develop detailed knowledge of each vessel’s systems, service history, modifications, and operational requirements.

This continuity enables:

• Faster troubleshooting
• More effective maintenance planning
• Reduced operational downtime
• Better spare-parts preparation
• Improved lifecycle management

Instead of responding only when failures occur, the program focuses on preventing them.

Supporting Safe and Reliable Operations

The annual fleet program combines marine service expertise, regulatory knowledge, and practical engineering support.

By maintaining critical safety and environmental systems throughout the year, Neohance helps the operator keep its bunker tanker fleet safe, compliant, and operational.
