Introduction BDN requirements

This technical topic explains the present Bunker The following information must be included in the
Delivery Note (BDN), which has evolved from BDN to comply with global standards:
the Bunker Delivery Receipt (BDR). Originally the
BDR was used as a means to document quantity • Name and IMO number of receiving vessel
delivered from a supplier to a customer and provide
• Port of bunkering
evidence of receipt of product. MARPOL Annex
VI, International Convention for the Prevention • Date of commencement of delivery
of Air Pollution from Ships, now requires certain
information in a BDN. As well as being required • Name, address, and telephone number of fuel
for the above purposes, a BDN (as dictated in oil supplier
MEPC.176(58)) must also include the sulphur levels
• Delivered product name(s)
in the product, as well as delivered quantities.
• Quantity in metric tons
• Density at 15 degrees Celsius
• Sulphur content
• A declaration signed and certified by the fuel

oil supplier’s representative that the fuel oil
supplied is in conformity with the applicable
paragraph of regulation 14.1 or 14.4 and
regulation 18.3 of MARPOL Annex VI.

Ensuring compliance
The BDN is also used in conjunction with bunker
samples to provide proof of regulatory compliance.
Bunker sample seal numbers are documented on
the BDN to provide a record of the sample for that
particular delivery. Each sample (commercial and
MARPOL) must be sealed with the seal identification
number clearly listed on the BDN. Note that BDNs
may also require additional information to comply
with local laws/regulations at port of delivery.
ExxonMobil has developed a global BDN template

in order to ensure compliance with regulatory
requirements, as well as capture all pertinent
information needed to document product quantity.
The BDN document is still the primary method to
document the quantity delivered to a customer.
Since marine fuel is normally delivered by volume
(liters, cubic meters, gallons or barrels) but sold by
weight (metric tons), it is crucial to record the correct
density and volume delivered on the BDN.
The BDN must be maintained onboard the vessel for

three (3) years. Port State Control has the authority
to board the vessel to inspect and make copies of
the BDN to verify that the fuel complies with global
and local regulations.
