Accurate bunker consumption and bunker cost estimation is key to take the correct decisions, and it also impacts the operational follow up of the actual ROB figures, prices etc.
We see that more and more of our customers only burn one type of diesel/gas oil; Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) and what the system to estimate only this type of diesel/gas oil.
The system can be configured to estimate the bunker types that you utilise and the most common deviation from the default types are:
- Low Sulphur Diesel Oil as only type of diesel.
- High Sulphur Fuel Oil (For vessels with Scrubbers)
- (Ultra) Low Sulphur Fuel Oil in ECA areas
This post will cover how to configure the system to only estimate DOLS consumption.
This configuration is useful when a vessel only burn Low Sulphur Diesel (both inside and outside ECA).
- Have one of your super-users activating the bunker type configuration. This is done by setting the "Dataloy Property" called com.dataloy.eca.restrictbunkertypes's value to "true" (without quotes). Consult us if you are sure: Dataloy Service Desk
- Add a bunker type of the Low Sulphur Diesel Oil bunker category. E.g. called DOLS, DMA-2010-0.1
- For vessels burning FO on Main engine outside ECA area add a bunker type of the Fuel Oil category. (e.g. FO/Fuel Oil or RMG-380-2010-3.5)
Configuring the system to only estimate High Sulphur Diesel Oil (DO) is not recommended.
