1.1 Methods Used to determine fuel consumption of each ES 15 Method A: Bunker Fuel Delivery Note (BDN) and periodic stock takes of fuel tanks This method is based on the quantity and type of fuel as defined on the BDN combined with periodic stocktakes of fuel tanks based on tank readings. The fuel at the beginning of the period, plus deliveries, minus fuel available at the end of the period (and de-bunkered fuel) between the beginning of the period and the end of the period together constitute the fuel consumed over the period The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content needs to be specified
1.1 Methods Used to determine fuel consumption of each ES 16 Method B: Bunker fuel tank monitoring on board This method is based on fuel tank readings for all fuel tanks on-board. The tank readings shall occur daily when the ship is at sea and each time the ship is bunkering or de-bunkering The cumulative variations of the fuel tank level between two readings constitute the fuel consumed over the period The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be specified Fuel tank readings shall be carried out by appropriate methods such as automated systems, soundings and dip tapes. The method for tank sounding and uncertainty associated shall be specified in the monitoring plan
1.1 Methods Used to determine fuel consumption of each ES 17 Method C: Flow meters for applicable combustion processes This method is based on measured fuel flows on-board. The data from all flow meters linked to relevant CO 2 emission sources shall be combined to determine all fuel consumption for a specific period The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be monitored The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with flow meters used shall be specified in the monitoring plan
1.1 Methods Used to determine fuel consumption of each ES 18 Method D: Direct CO2 emission measurements The direct CO 2 emissions measurements may be used for voyages and for CO 2 emissions occurring in ports located in a Member State's jurisdiction. CO 2 emitted shall include CO 2 emitted by main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers and inert gas generators. For ships for which reporting is based on this method, the fuel consumption shall be calculated using the measured CO 2 emissions and the applicable emission factor of the relevant fuels This method is based on the determination of CO 2 emission flows in exhaust gas stacks (funnels) by multiplying the CO 2 concentration of the exhaust gas with the exhaust gas flow The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with the devices used shall be specified in the monitoring plan
