Marine fuel buyers increasingly treat quality documentation as a commercial term.

Marine fuel buyers have become far more demanding about documentation. In this conversation, a supplier explains how quality assurance moved from a technical afterthought to a commercial differentiator.

"Ten years ago, the discussion was price and availability," they said. "Now the first question is often about the blend components and the testing regime."

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
