Lloyd’s Register (LR) has enhanced its Global Fuel Finder tool, delivering a significant upgrade that allows ship operators and technical teams to make faster, smarter decisions when sourcing marine fuels.
The latest development adds biofuel availability and quality insights to the platform, helping clients navigate the energy transition with confidence.
Developed by LR’s Fuel Oil Bunkering Analysis and Advisory Service (FOBAS) team, the Fuel Finder tool now allows users to search, compare and analyse biofuels across global ports. Accessible via the LR GMT platform, the interface allows users to explore six months of data from specific ports or suppliers, visualise trends, and download detailed reports in multiple formats. With the ability to compare up to four supplier-port combinations side by side, the tool provides clear, evidence-based insights that support fuel procurement and compliance decisions.
Andrew Shaw, MD FOBAS, said: “The inclusion of biofuels is the latest step in our commitment to delivering practical, real-time, data-driven solutions that support the decarbonisation of shipping. As the industry continues to evolve, our enhanced Fuel Finder ensures clients are always equipped with the information they need, enabling them to assess fuel options at a glance, compare performance, and reduce operational risk.”
Current LR clients can access the upgraded Fuel Finder tool at no additional cost, while new users can take advantage of a free seven-day trial.
LR’s FOBAS service provides expertise in fuel testing, advisory, and risk mitigation strategies, supporting ship operators in navigating the complexities of fuel quality and regulatory compliance.
