Live Bunker Credit Risk Checks for Suppliers and Traders
In the bunker market, a buyer won’t wait while you dig through financials, and a single bad debt can wipe out the margin on dozens of deals. CERTY turns a counterparty inquiry into a decision-ready credit view in under five minutes, so you can say yes with confidence or hold back before you fix the terms.
How CERTY Helps
Decide in Under 5 Minutes
Type the IMO or upload the inquiry get a LIVE credit score with the payment behaviour behind it in under five minutes: fast enough to answer a buyer while they’re still on the phone, drawn from real-time data rather than filings that are months old.
See the Whole Counterparty, Not Just a Score
Vessel, ownership and transaction relationships surface alongside the number, so the decision is based on a full picture of who you’re dealing with, not a single digit with nothing behind it.
Catch Payment Stress Before It’s a Bad Debt
CERTY tracks how counterparties actually pay and flags widening delays and deteriorating patterns before they turn into a bad debt, giving your credit team room to adjust terms or exposure.
Protect Margins Across the Book

Embedded financing at the point of tradeFrequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get a decision on a buyer?
Under five minutes from an uploaded invoice or inquiry. CERTY returns a live credit score and the payment behaviour behind it without manual financial review.
What is bunker credit risk?
Bunker credit risk is the risk that a shipowner, operator or trader fails to pay for marine fuel supplied on credit. Because suppliers’ margins per tonne are thin, one unpaid stem can erase the profit on many others, which makes accurate buyer assessment essential.
How does CERTY assess a bunker buyer’s creditworthiness?
CERTY builds a live credit risk score from real payment behaviour and operational signals, updating continuously as new activity arrives rather than relying on annual financial statements.
Can CERTY warn me before a buyer defaults?
Yes. Predictive default alerts flag counterparties trending toward non-payment so credit teams can act before exposure becomes a loss.
