GlobalBQS was officially launched on November 2, 2026, introducing a platform that provides a unified standard for monitoring fuel and tracking the entry and exit of ships. This system is designed so that any observer can present their reports in a standardized manner without the need to change observers.
Change in Reporting Process
Currently, each observer reports in their specific format, and information is locked in PDF files. This leads to situations where owners and charterers have to search through emails in case of disputes. However, with the launch of GlobalBQS, the observer can prepare their report online or offline using the GlobalBQS application. After the draft is approved, the final report is provided in the customer portal and their inbox in a standard format, usually within a few hours.

Transformation in Data Management
Each report is converted into data, and in the customer portal, owners and charterers can see how the recorded figures in the ship's log differ from the measured values. Additionally, information about suppliers and cargoes that have fallen short in providing fuel, as well as any registered complaint letters, will be available. The fuel chain for each ton of fuel is tracked from delivery to retrieval, and ships, suppliers, and observers are evaluated against an anonymous network standard based on measured facts.
Captain Richard Van Renswood, founder of GlobalBQS, stated: "After 18 years of working at sea and years of experience in chartering and operations, I have witnessed many fuel disputes that have been resolved based on the clearest documentation. GlobalBQS provides a standard and uniform facts for everyone, making each report clearer."
In this system, there is no sharing, and customers can confirm their fuel by copying [email protected] or placing their order with one click in the portal. Each report is presented with a single invoice. Observer access will begin in January 2027, and in 2027, the company will also launch the Voyager service, in which GlobalBQS will take over the entire monitoring process and select the best observer for each job.
