IMO Data Collection System

Data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships entered into force on 1 March 2018.

Under the amendments, ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above are required 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 is reported to the flag State 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.  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.
