VPS

VPS is the world's largest marine fuel and oil testing and advisory company. We have deep technical knowledge, tested the first ever marine fuel sample more than 40 years ago and we continue to innovate new test methods today. VPS provides Testing and Inspection services globally to the maritime industry and is the clear market leader in its niche end market. VPS operates on a global basis with services provided through one of its five laboratories which are supported by an international network of commercial and technical advisory teams. Our purpose is to protect our customers, people and the environment. We do this by testing and inspecting fuel and oil for our customers in the Marine and Power industry and using this information to provide advice based on legislative and technical specifications. Our guidance enables our customers to improve business performance by optimising their use of resources, minimising their environmental emissions and operating in a more sustainable manner. The challenge of decarbonization of the Marine industry is massive towards 2030 and 2050 and VPS plays a critical role in this transformation. This is supported with digital products of own developed tools and recently acquired business that fully focus on reducing the carbon footprint of our customers.
