Fuel Drip Bunker Samplers are essential for ensuring efficient, compliant, and sustainable maritime operations. These devices collect representative fuel samples during bunkering, providing accurate evidence of fuel quality. This helps mitigate risks associated with contaminated or substandard fuel, such as engine damage, operational disruptions, and costly repairs. By verifying fuel quality, they ensure smooth engine performance and operational reliability.
In addition to safeguarding efficiency, bunker samplers are crucial for meeting regulatory standards, such as those set by the IMO’s MARPOL Annex VI. They enable vessels to demonstrate compliance with fuel regulations, avoiding penalties and supporting environmentally responsible practices. By detecting non-compliant fuel, they also help reduce harmful emissions, aligning with global sustainability goals. Reliable and legally defensible, these samplers play a key role in protecting ships, the environment, and the industry’s long-term viability.
Your All-in-One Tool for Reliable Fuel Sampling on Every Ship
• Lightweight and very easy to install • Joint rings included • All sizes available • Comprehensive accessories and consumables
Fuel drip sampler, bunker sampler, drip ring – these terms all refer to the same essential instrument. A fuel drip sampler is a crucial tool for every ship, designed to collect samples of any type of fuel entering the vessel. As its name implies, the sampler enables the collection of reliable and representative fuel samples during the bunkering process, ensuring accurate evaluation in the laboratory.
Drip Bunker Samplers from Parker Kittiwake, are compliant with IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI. They are designed to provide a representative sample of the entire fuel delivery. Manufactured from stainless steel, all products comply with ISO 3170, BS 3195, ASTM D 4057 and ISO TR 13729 standards, as well as the Singapore Bunkering Procedure.

Tested and approved for air freight and courier transport, these products offer a simple, cost-effective, and safe solution for fuel oil sampling.
We provide 750ml HDPE sample bottles complete with tamper-evident caps, labels, and mailing cartons, with the mailer cartons included in the FG-K3-210-KW kits. Bulk supply options are available, along with accessories like security seals and additional labels.
The Parker Kittiwake Bunker Sampler and equipment have been designed for worldwide operations including North Sea, Norwegian Continental Shelf and tropical waters. This unit is designed to withstand salty and highly corrosive environments.
A fuel drip sampler plays a vital role in any oil analysis program. It ensures that the sample collected is representative of the entire bunkering process. These samples are essential for regulatory compliance, commercial evaluation, and are often required by law. A properly collected sample provides an accurate assessment of the quality of the bunkered oil.
If the sample does not accurately reflect the actual condition of the oil and components at the time of collection, the reliability of both the test results and their interpretation is compromised. Key factors in ensuring a representative sample include proper sampling procedures, selecting the correct sampling location, and overseeing the sampling process.
What are the financial benefits of using bunker samplers?
A fuel sampler is not just a legal requirement during the bunkering process; it is also the most efficient and cost-effective method for collecting fuel samples. Without a drip sampler, the only alternative is manual sampling, which involves manually operating a valve to collect fuel in a container—a time-consuming and less reliable process. Using a fuel sampler simplifies the task, providing a more reliable, user-friendly, and consistent way to obtain accurate fuel samples.
Where is the fuel drip sampler typically installed?
The fuel drip sampler is typically installed at the bunker manifold, near the bunker flange. This location allows the Chief Engineer to position it between the bunker manifold flange and the pipeline leading to the fuel system.
