About

Built for reality,
not theory.

Our team comes from physical commodity trading, software engineering, AI, and consultancy.

We build for what actually happens at the desk, in the port, on the barge. Our aim is simple: to make your operations more efficient.

Who we build for

Built for every bunkering operating model.

Workflows built for how each side of the market actually runs - physical assets, trading desks, or captive fleet supply.

01 · Logistics & Assets

Barge Operator

Tonnage & fleet management

Squeeze maximum pumping hours out of every hull. Cut idle waiting time and turn chaotic nomination formats into an automated, clean schedule.

  • Maximise pumping hours & asset utilisation
  • Eliminate idle time and speed up berth turnarounds
  • Auto-parse email & PDF nominations into schedules
02 · Storage & Blending

Physical Supplier

Terminal positions & blending

Plan against live stock, protect blending economics, and keep tank-to-barge mass balances tight without spreadsheet gymnastics.

  • Real-time inventory depletion & ullage visibility
  • Zero-giveaway blending margin protection
  • Instant automated tank-to-barge reconciliation
03 · Integrated Desk

Trader-Supplier

Trading & operations desk sync

Give the trading desk real-time operational truth so traders price with confidence. Move stems faster without burying operations in status calls.

  • Rapid nomination-to-confirmed stem workflow
  • Live barge schedules and laycans visible to the desk
  • Single source of truth between desk and water
04 · Captive & Fleet

Shipowner-Supplier

Self-supply & commercial stems

Coordinate captive barge fleets, term contracts, and alternative fuel supply. Fuel your fleet at cost while monetising excess barge capacity.

  • Captive fleet priority vs 3rd-party spot stems
  • Workflows for LNG, biofuels and green methanol
  • Full fuel custody and quality tracking end-to-end

How we operate

Software that respects your data and your process.

We built Bunker Agent alongside operators, risk managers and finance directors - not around them. These are the ground rules the platform is engineered to hold, on every screen, in every module.

01

Your data is yours alone.

Your stems, rates, counterparties and routes stay ringfenced inside your tenant. We never share it across suppliers, we never resell it, and we never train models on it. If you ever leave, you leave with your data.

02

Every decision has a name.

The system calculates the best path, but human operators click "approve." Every action lands in the audit trail with a name against it - the operator, the timestamp, the reason, and the alternative that was declined.

03

Your data, centralised.

Stop chasing numbers. When a customer asks about a delivery from three months ago, finding the answer takes a minute, not a morning. Every stem, meter reading, and signature stays on one shared record - searchable, exportable, and always to hand.

Wherever you operate

Different ports. Different rules.

ARA works nothing like Singapore. Hamburg nothing like Panama. Our platform ships with a port-specific model - not a one-size-fits-all schedule glued to a spreadsheet.

Global port network
01 - Global

Every major bunkering hub.

Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Singapore, Fujairah, Panama, Hamburg, Houston, Gibraltar - and every other port your barges call at.

02 - Local

No port runs like another.

ARA has its own rhythm. So does Singapore. So does Panama. Our schedulers are built to match how each port actually runs - not to average across them.

03 - Yours

Configured to your operation.

Working practices differ between suppliers even in the same port. We tune the model to yours, then keep tuning as your operation changes.
