Alkagesta Singapore Team Visit to BV Inspectorate
As part of its ongoing technical engagement and knowledge-sharing initiatives, Alkagesta conducted a visit to BV Inspectorate in Singapore.
The visit included the second session focused on fuel oil quality management and specification compliance, followed by a guided tour of BV Inspectorate’s laboratory facilities for the Alkagesta Singapore team. The session built on prior discussions, addressing key parameters affecting fuel quality, specification requirements, and testing outcomes. Particular attention was given to how operational practices and sample handling may influence test results and regulatory compliance. Members of Alkagesta’s operations teams in Malta and Türkiye also joined the session virtually, supporting cross-regional knowledge exchange.
Following the technical session, the Alkagesta Asia team was introduced to BV Inspectorate’s laboratory operations. Laboratory specialists provided an overview of the testing workflow, including sample receipt, preparation, analysis, and reporting. Selected fuel oil tests were explained in detail, outlining their purpose, methodology, and relevance to quality assurance, with live demonstrations offering practical insight into laboratory procedures.
The visit was organised to enhance Alkagesta’s understanding of post-lifting testing processes, from laboratory intake through to final reporting. Overall, the session provided valuable insight into laboratory operations, quality-assurance practices, and the role of testing in ensuring fuel integrity and compliance with applicable standards.
