Fuel and emissions
Know what is in every tank, what the vessel burns and where its CII stands
Bunkerings with their BDN details, fuel on board kept tank by tank, consumption by machine and the vessel's CII through the year, all worked out from the reports the crew already files.
Fuel
Every tonne on board, in and out
ROB, bunkerings and consumption on one tab of the vessel, kept in step with every report and bunkering filed.
On board
Fuel on board, grade by grade, and how long it lasts
ROB for each grade against the capacity of its tanks, what the vessel used per day and how many days that leaves. The office can correct the ROB tank by tank, with the reason recorded.
- Fuel used by machine over the last 30 days
- Fresh water on board, used and made per day, with days left
- Fresh water deliveries with their receipt and analysis report
Bunkerings
Every bunkering, with its BDN
Port, ship time, BDN number, quantity per tank and price per MT, with the receipt attached, whether it was recorded on board or in the office. The fuel details from the BDN decide whether the fuel counts as HFO, LFO or MGO in the emissions.
- ISO 8217 grade, viscosity in cSt, density at 15 °C and sulphur in %
- A correction replaces the entry and keeps the original on record
- A voided bunkering stays on file and moves the ROB back
Emissions
The CII through the year, not only at its end
Worked out from the vessel's own filings and BDNs, and updated with every report and bunkering.
CII
CII calculated the way the IMO DCS form does
Attained against required CII and the vessel's band for the year so far, month by month, with how many tonnes of CO2 stand between the vessel and the next band. Where the verifier's Statement of Compliance is filed, its figures sit beside the platform's.
- Fuel from the BDNs, checked against the fuel filed day by day
- Next year's band if the vessel performs the same
- EU ETS allowances and FuelEU Maritime GHG intensity from the vessel's port calls
Where it starts
The figures start in the engine room
Nothing here is typed twice. The office sees what the crew filed on the tablet on board.
On board
ROB and bunkers, filed on the tablet
The chief engineer files the ROB of each tank, the fuel each machine burned, lube oil and fresh water every day. Bunkers received are recorded on the tablet with their BDN, even with no signal, and the ROB moves as soon as they reach the platform.
Questions
What owners and superintendents ask about fuel and emissions
Where do the consumption figures come from?
From the engine room's daily filings on the tablet: the ROB of each tank and the fuel each machine burned. The platform adds them up by grade and by machine.
How is the CII calculated?
As the IMO DCS reporting form calculates it: fuel delivered on the BDNs, plus fuel on board at the start, less fuel on board at the end, against the distance sailed and the vessel's capacity. The BDN total is checked against the fuel filed day by day, within 7.5 % either way.
Does it replace the verifier?
No. The rating that counts is the verified one. The platform shows its calculation through the year and puts the verifier's Statement of Compliance beside it once it is filed.
What if a BDN has no fuel details?
The bunkering is marked as missing fuel details, and the emissions cannot count that fuel until its ISO grade, and the viscosity for an RM grade, are entered. The viscosity can be added later from the lab report.
Does it cover EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime?
Yes. From the vessel's port calls and filed fuel it counts the EU ETS allowances and the GHG intensity, compliance balance and penalty under FuelEU Maritime, and can estimate a planned trip before the vessel sails.

Where this connects
Onboard reporting
The bridge and engine room file their reports on a tablet that works offline; the office reads them the moment they land.
