Mandatory requirements on ship fuel consumption data
collection and reporting
IMO adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on data collection system for fuel oil
consumption of ships through the resolution MEPC.278(70), which entered into force on
1 March 2018. The amendments require ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above shall
to collect consumption data for each type of fuel oil they use, as well as other, additional,
specified data including proxies for transport work. The aggregated data shall be reported
to the flag State after the end of each calendar year (the first calendar year begins from 1
January until 31 December inclusive 2019 within 3 months after the end of each calendar
year) and the flag State, having determined that the data has been reported in accordance
with the requirements, issues a Statement of Compliance to the ship no later than 5 months
from the beginning of the calendar year. Flag States are required to subsequently transfer
this data to an IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database. IMO will be required to produce
an annual report to MEPC, summarizing the data collected. Before the process, on or before
31 December 2018, in the case of a ship of 5,000 gross tonnage and above, the SEEMP in
its Part II shall include a description of the methodology that is used to collect the data and
the processes that are used to report the data to the ship's flag State.

● When taking sounding, the tape should be rolled inside the oil tank stably so that the
bob is able to touch the tank bottom lightly. It should be avoided that the liquid level
sloshing caused by heavily rolling the tape inside the oil tank affects the measurement
results.
● When reading, the tape should not be laid flat or inverted in order to prevent the liquid
level from rising, and the line of sight should be vertical to the tape. The millimeter value Method using flow meters
should be read firstly followed by the centimeter, decimeter and meter.
● If the water mark or oil mark on the tape is not clear, the oil finding paste should
be applied at the predicted value position. Then the reading should be based on the The fuel flow is often measured directly (by volume, velocity or mass) or indirectly by
discoloration line on the tape. pressure. In principle, flow meters readings of marine energy equipment should be recorded
daily and fuel consumption of the ship should be calculated daily.
● After the measurement is completed, the liquid remaining on the tape should be wiped
off with a dry cloth while the tape is being rolled back, and the tape should be completely
stowed in its drum.
● The accuracy of manual measurement is related to such factors as the position of datum
plate,measuring tools, conversion tables, ship inclination, etc.
● Measuring tools should be calibrated and maintained regularly, and records of such
calibrations and maintenance should be kept on board ships.
● The volume measured manually may differ from the actual volume.
● Manual tank reading method is not suitable for ships fueled by gas.

● The connection of the flowmeter to specific fuel consumer should be described in the on board, and shall not be limited to the main engine, auxiliary engines, gas turbines,
