5 Data Recording and Documentation Procedures

 The data recording method used in particular ship types must be uniform so that information can be easily collated and analysed to facilitate the extraction of the required information. The collection of data from ships should include the distance travelled, the quantity and type of fuel used, and all fuel information that may affect the amount of carbon dioxide emitted. Fuel information is provided on the bunker delivery notes that are required under regulation 18 of Annex VI to MARPOL.

The unit used for distance travelled and quantity of fuel should be expressed in nautical miles and metric tonnes. The cargo should be expressed as stated in paragraph 3.5.

It is important that sufficient information is collected on the ship with regard to fuel type and quantity, distance travelled and cargo type so that the efficiency of the ship can be compared with other modes of transport.

The distance travelled should be calculated by actual distance travelled, as contained in the ship's log-book.

Amount and type of fuel used (bunker delivery notes) and distance travelled (according to the ship's log-book) should be documented by the ship based on the format described in the Appendix.
