Emission Controlled Areas (ECA) and Bunker Consumption Estimation

Short Description

Dataloy VMS estimates low sulphur bunker consumption based on the Emission Controlled Areas (ECAs) around the world. The low sulphur bunker estimation is based on the distance and time sailed in the emission controlled areas. In addition, the VMS estimates In Port consumption based on the location of the port, or administrative/governmental rules.

Please Note: The routing in Dataloy VMS is not adjusted to minimise sailing in ECA zones. Routing in Dataloy VMS remains unchanged compared to previous versions, i.e. to serve the shortest navigable route available.

2015 - New Sulphur Limit in All ECAs

From 1 January 2015 IMO's new ECA regulations will limit the sulphur content to 0.1%. The new sulphur limit applies to all ECA areas.

Dataloy VMS will form version 3.15.4 calculate Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) for all engines (Main and Auxiliary) on voyage legs ending after 1st of January 2015.

Long Description

All current ECAs are supported.

Baltic, North Sea & the English Channel (International Maritime Organization - IMO)  

Fuel type estimated for At Sea consumption and In Port consumption in the area:
Note
: In Port consumption is overruled in the EU-Area by EU regulations (see Ports in the European Union Area):

  • 2014 - Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (FOLS
  • 2015 - Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) (requires version 3.15.4)

North American ECA (USA and Canada) (IMO)
USA = mainland USA, the main Hawaiian islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico (California also covered by separate ECA).

Fuel type estimated for At Sea consumption and In Port consumption in the area:

  • 2014 - Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (FOLS)
  • 2015 - Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) (requires version 3.15.4)

Californian ECA (California Air Resources Board - CARB)

Fuel type estimated for At Sea consumption and In Port consumption in the area:

  • 2014 - Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS)
  • 2015 - Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS)
    (No change in 2015)

Ports in the European Union Area (European Union - EU)

Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) is estimated on all port consumption in the EU-Area.
The EU-Area includes all EU member states, Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland.

(No change in 2015)

 

Ports in Turkey (Istanbul & Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea Regions Chamber of Shipping)

Low Sulphur Diesel Oil (DOLS) is estimated on all port consumption in Turkey except Bosporus Strait.

(No change in 2015)
