3 In accordance with regulation 27.9 of MARPOL Annex VI, not later than one month
after issuing the Statement of Compliance, by 30 June at the latest, the Administration shall
ensure that the reported fuel consumption data by its registered ships of 5,000 GT and above
and in the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI are transferred to the IMO Ship Fuel
Oil Consumption Database in GISIS.

4 Regulation 27.10 of MARPOL Annex VI requires the Secretary-General to produce

an annual report to the Committee summarizing the data collected, the status of missing data,
and such other relevant information as may be requested by the Committee.

Report on the fuel oil consumption data submitted to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil
Consumption Database in GISIS

5 In accordance with regulation 27.10 of MARPOL Annex VI and section 6 of the 2022
Guidelines for the development and management of the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption
Database (MEPC.349(78)), hereinafter referred to as the "2022 Guidelines", the Secretariat
has prepared a summary report of the fuel oil consumption data for the 2021 reporting period,
as set out in the annex to this document.

6 The Secretariat carried out a quality control and verification process of the data
submitted to GISIS to identify missing ships and obvious errors in the submitted data.

7 Administrations can download non-anonymized data for the ships flying its flag for
which data has been submitted to GISIS by that Administration or on their behalf. In
accordance with regulation 27.12 of MARPOL Annex VI, Parties to MARPOL Annex VI also
have access to the data of all ships submitted to GISIS in an anonymized format.

8 The following general findings with regard to the fuel consumption data for the 2021
reporting period can be noted:

.1 Data was reported by 28,171 ships (27,723 for 2020) with a combined gross
tonnage of 1,255 million gross tonnes (1,222 million gross tonnes for 2020)
by 139 Administrations (compared to 135 for 2020). The aforementioned total
number of ships and total gross tonnage is given in terms of the number of
different ships which reported data, not the number of reports in GISIS. Ships
that contained obvious errors in the submitted data were also removed from
these totals.

.2 28,171 ships out of a potential 32,998 ships (85.4%) that were estimated to
fall under the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI submitted data.
On the basis of gross tonnage, the reported data represents 94.4% of the
ships that fell under the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI
(compared to 93.8% for 2020).

.3 By 2 August 2022, the number of ships identified with potential errors was
reduced to 203 ships. At the time of the report, these potential errors had not
been modified by the Administration or recognized organization concerned;
these ships with potential errors can have a large impact on the aggregated
data and have not been included in the report for the 2021 reporting period,
set out in the annex to this document.

.4 212 million tonnes of fuel (203 million tonnes for 2020), on a quantity basis,
was used by the aforementioned 28,171 ships; total fuel used was higher
in 2021 compared to 2020; in particular, fuel used for Bulk carriers and
Containerships increased when compared to 2020.

I:\MEPC\79\MEPC 79-6-1.docx
 MEPC 79/6/1
Page 3

.5 99.89% of the fuel used for the 2021 reporting period was either
Heavy Fuel Oil, Light Fuel Oil, Diesel/Gas Oil or Liquefied Natural Gas.
Compared to 2020 the use of Liquefied Natural Gas increased significantly
for Bulk carriers, Containerships and Cruise passenger ships.

.6 The majority of the reported fuel oil was consumed by the following three
EEDI ship types: Containerships, Bulk carriers and Tankers.

Recommended improvements to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database module
in GISIS

9 MEPC 78 endorsed, in general, the suggestions and recommendations by the

Secretariat, as set out in document ISWG-GHG 12/2 (Secretariat), by the Secretariat on
improving the annual reporting and analysis of data submitted to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil
Consumption Database (MEPC 78/17, paragraph 7.72).

10 Accordingly, the Secretariat is improving the reporting process, including:

.1 allowing recognized organizations to easily remove duplicate reports in the

Ship Fuel Oil Consumption module in GISIS; and

.2 improving the annual lists of ships falling in the scope of regulation 27 of

MARPOL Annex VI that is sent to each Administration, using the feedback
received from Administrations.

11 The Secretariat is also updating the Ship Fuel Oil Consumption module in GISIS
taking into account the updated 2022 Guidelines (adopted at MEPC 78) and the recent
amendments to appendix IX of MARPOL Annex VI to update the information reported to the
IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database (including adding reporting for EEXI and CII values).
The amendments to appendix IX of MARPOL Annex VI, as approved by MEPC 78, are
expected to be adopted at this session (see document MEPC 79/3/3).

12 The Secretariat improved the way the submitted data had been verified.
Notwithstanding, submitters of data are invited to pay attention to the following:

.1 It was found that some fuel oil was reported incorrectly, such as VLSFO and
LFO, under the "Other" category. This issue was rectified by moving these
fuels to be under the Heavy Fuel Oil fuel category in-line with the Fourth IMO
GHG Study 2020 in that the Low Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil has the same
emission factors as conventional HFO.

.2 A small number of ships were in an incorrect EEDI ship type category; in

particular, 100 ships were incorrectly categorized in the "Passenger ship"
and in the "Others" category. While the ship categorization has significantly
improved compared to the 2019 reporting period, Administrations and
recognized organizations should continue to carefully check whether ships
should be reported under the "Cruise passenger ship" or "Ro-ro passenger"
ship category before reporting under the "Passenger ship" category, and
ensure tankers are reported under the "Tankers" category.

13 As mentioned in document MEPC 76/6/1 (Secretariat), the Committee may also

consider amending the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy
Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, as set out in resolution MEPC.308(73), to include
ethane and biofuels to facilitate reporting these fuels to the GISIS module with the appropriate
CF values.

Annual development in operational carbon intensity for each ship type and for
international shipping

14 In accordance with paragraph 6.5 of the 2022 Guidelines, as stated in paragraph 1.5
of the 2021 Guidelines on the operational carbon intensity reduction factors relative to
reference lines (CII reduction factors guidelines, G3):

"The Organization should continue to monitor development in annual carbon intensity

improvement using both demand-based and supply-based measurement in parallel
to the annual analysis of the fuel consumption data reported to the IMO DCS"

15 In this regard and further to the Secretariat's suggestions, set out in document
ISWG-GHG 12/2, paragraph 34.2, as endorsed by MEPC 78, table 3 in the annex includes
AER and cgDIST, supply-based measurements of carbon intensity, which are calculated for
each relevant ship type and size category. AER has been calculated for each ship type and
size category by dividing the total CO2 emissions for each category by the sum of the
Deadweight multiplied by Distance Travelled (or Gross Tonnage multiplied by Distance
Travelled for cgDIST).

16 As also explained in paragraphs 16 to 24 of document ISWG-GHG 12/2, the

Secretariat is currently not in a position to calculate demand-based measurements of carbon
intensity from the data available in IMO DCS. For this reason the Secretariat issued a tender
for additional data to allow for demand-based measurements to be included in future reporting
to the Committee.

Action requested of the Committee

17 The Committee is invited to consider the summary report of fuel oil consumption data
submitted to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database for 2021 and relevant information
in this document, and in particular to:

.1 approve, in principle, the summary of the fuel oil consumption data submitted
to the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database for 2021 as set out in the
annex;

.2 note the issues with the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database module
in GISIS and the ongoing improvements to the reporting process, set out in
paragraphs 10 to 13;

.3 approve, in principle the reporting on carbon intensity developments on the

basis of supply-based measurements, using AER and cgDIST indicators, as
set out in table 3 in the annex;

.4 note that the Secretariat is currently not in a position to calculate carbon

intensity developments on the basis of demand-based measurements, and
is in the process of procuring such data for future reporting; and

.5 take action as appropriate.

ANNEX

SUMMARY REPORT OF FUEL OIL CONSUMPTION DATA SUBMITTED TO THE

IMO SHIP FUEL OIL CONSUMPTION DATABASE FOR 2021

Total number of ships for which fuel consumption data was reported

1 In accordance with paragraph 5.1 of the 2022 Guidelines for the development and
management of the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database (MEPC.349(78)), hereinafter
referred to as the "2022 Guidelines", in January 2021 every Administration that had designated
a contact person in the Ship Fuel Oil Consumption module in GISIS was sent an indicative list
of ships in their Administration falling under the scope of regulation 27 of the 2021 Revised
MARPOL Annex VI ('MARPOL Annex VI'), totalling 32,998 ships (compared to 32,558 ships
in January 2020) under 139 Administrations. The aforementioned lists of ships were produced
by cross-referencing with data from the Ship and Company Particulars module in GISIS.

2 For the period from 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2021 (the 2021 reporting
period), by 2 August 2022 fuel consumption data had been reported to the Ship Fuel Oil
Consumption module in GISIS from 109 Administrations, consisting of 76 Parties to
MARPOL Annex VI and 33 non-Parties, for 28,171 ships (compared to 27,723 ships for 2020)
in total out of a potential 32,998 ships (85.4%) that were estimated to fall under the scope of
regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI. On the basis of gross tonnage, the reported data
represents 94.4% of the ships that fell under the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI
in January 2021 (compared to 93.8% for 2020).

3 This summary report reflects the fuel consumption data in GISIS up

until 2 August 2022; any changes made to the 2021 data in GISIS after this date are not
reflected in this report. Additional reported data in GISIS or changes made to the data
after 2 August 2022 are not included in the report, but will be available in the data directly
downloadable from GISIS.

Measures to ensure the completeness of the database

4 In addition to the indicative list of ships falling under the scope of regulation 27 of
MARPOL Annex VI, sent to every Administration in January 2021, in accordance with section 5
of the 2022 Guidelines, in July 2022, the Secretariat sent each Administration that had
designated a contact person a list of ships identifying those missing ships for which data had
not yet been submitted to the Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database in GISIS. Where applicable,
Administrations were also sent a list of ships for which the analysis of the reported fuel
consumption data pointed to potential errors.

5 The Secretariat did not modify any of the reported data in GISIS itself, but in the case
of any identified missing ships or potential errors contacted the relevant Administrations and
recognized organizations so that they could correct and update the data in GISIS and provide
further feedback in case of any discrepancies, as might be necessary.

6 This list of missing ships was created for each Administration by comparing the ships
that had been reported by July 2022 to the list of ships under the scope of regulation 27 of
MARPOL Annex VI that was sent to each Administration in January 2021. In July 2022,
Administrations were requested to provide fuel consumption data for 6,506 missing ships.

7 In response to the aforementioned lists of missing ships and ships with potential
errors, a number of Administrations and recognized organizations corrected and updated the
reported data in GISIS. Some Administrations also informed the Secretariat about the status

I:\MEPC\79\MEPC 79-6-1.docx
MEPC 79/6/1
Annex, page 2

of missing ships for which no data had been reported. A number of the aforementioned missing
ships were still expected to report fuel consumption data for 2021. For half of the
aforementioned missing ships, Administrations stated that these ships were not falling under
the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI. The reasons for this included ship's being
operated only domestically and the ship type not covered by relevant MARPOL Annex VI
requirements, such as due to having no propulsion.

8 The Secretariat has included data in GISIS up until 2 August 2022 in the report to
allow time for Administrations and recognized organizations to update the data in GISIS, as
discussed in the above paragraphs.

9 The feedback received from Administrations, indicating the ships not relevant to
regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI, such as due to having no propulsion, can be used to
assist the Secretariat in further updating the process of cross-referencing with the Ship and
Company Particulars module in GISIS to produce the indicative lists of ships falling under the
scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI.

Verification of the submitted data in GISIS

10 While not specified in the 2022 Guidelines, the Secretariat carried out a quality control
and verification process of the data submitted to GISIS to verify the accuracy of the data, to
identify missing ships for which no data had been reported, but also to identify obvious errors
in the submitted data. An automated process identified ships with obvious errors in the
submitted data; this included identifying ships with unrealistic characteristics that were not
technically possible, checking for duplicate reporting and checking for ships that may have
been categorized under an incorrect ship type, as defined by regulation 2 of MARPOL
Annex VI, in the reported data. Ships with errors that were identified using this process were
further examined to determine the cause of any errors; this information can then be provided
to the Administrations and recognized organizations concerned.

11 During the analysis of the reported data, on 2 August 2022, 2,942 instances where a
single ship reported data more than once during the reporting year were identified. This does
not include errors in reporting, including instances of duplicate reporting, which were removed
(see paragraph below). The multiple reporting is mostly due to ships changing between
different Administrations and recognized organizations during the reporting period.

12 In July 2022, 313 ships with errors were identified. At this time, 173 ships had instances
of duplicate reporting, where the same data fuel consumption data was reported more than once.
The remaining errors were due to incorrect ship characteristics, this included 64 ships which had
reported an "hours under way" which was more than the number of hours in a year.

13 Following the correction of data in GISIS by Administrations and recognized

organizations, the number of errors in the submitted data was reduced. At the time of this
report, 2 August 2022, the number of identified errors, that could potentially have a large
impact on aggregated data was reduced to 203 ships. These ships contain errors that have
not been corrected by the responsible Administrations or recognized organizations and have
not been included in the data analysis process in this report.

14 39 ships out of the aforementioned 203 ships were excluded because they had
reported "hours under way" which were more than the total number of hours in a year. In
addition, 103 ships were removed as they were duplicate reports. The remaining ships were
excluded for reporting unrealistic ship parameters which had not been corrected by the
submitters; this includes 15 ships that had an unrealistically large deadweight. The aggregated
gross tonnage of those 203 ships represents 0.60% of all ships which reported fuel
consumption data, in terms of gross tonnage.

Annex, page 3

15 In July 2022, approximately 100 ships in the "Other" and "Passenger ship" ship type
categories were identified as possibly being categorized incorrectly according to regulation 2
of MARPOL Annex VI. These ships were identified as "Passenger/Cruise" and
"Chemical/Products Tanker" according to data from IHS Markit. Less than 100 ships were
identified in the 2020 reporting period that needed recategorizing. In the 2019 reporting period,
over 600 ships were identified that needed recategorizing.

16 Overall, the number of errors and types of errors identified in the submitted data in
the 2021 reporting period, including the number of ships categorized incorrectly, was similar
to 2020 and significantly less than the 2019 reporting period.

Number of ships for which fuel consumption data has been reported

17 Table 1 shows a summary of the ships for which Administrations had reported fuel
consumption data for the 2021 reporting period. Table 1 compares the total number of ships
for which data had been reported to the indicative lists of ships falling under the scope of
regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI, as sent to each Administration in January 2021.

of ships that were estimated to fall under the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI.
The reporting rate is also high in terms of the number of Administrations, both Parties and non-
Parties to MARPOL Annex VI, that reported data for their ships; in total, 109 Administrations
out of a potential 139 Administrations submitted data. The number of Administrations in table 1
also includes national registries or sub-registries through which data was submitted.

19 Figure 1 compares the total number of ships for which data had been reported to the
lists of ships falling under the scope of regulation 27 MARPOL Annex VI, in terms of gross
tonnage.

Figure 1: Gross tonnage of ships reported by Administrations

20 As shown in figure 1, the 32,998 ships that were estimated to fall under the scope of
regulation 27 MARPOL Annex VI in January 2021 represent a total of 1,329 million
gross tonnes. The 28,171 ships for which fuel consumption data was reported for the 2021
reporting period represent a combined gross tonnage of 1,255 million gross tonnes
(this is 94.4% of 1,329 million gross tonnes).

The aggregated annual amount of each type of fuel oil consumed, distance travelled
and hours under way for ships of 5,000 GT and above, by EEDI ship type and EEDI size
category, including the "Others" and "Passenger ship" categories for ships not subject
to EEDI

21 In total, on a quantity basis, 212 million tonnes of fuel was used in the 2021 reporting
period (203 million tonnes for 2020). Figure 2 shows that 93.95% of the fuel oil used
during 2020 was either Heavy Fuel Oil, Light Fuel Oil or Diesel/Gas Oil. 99.89% of the fuel oil
that was reported was either Heavy Fuel Oil, Light Fuel Oil, Diesel/Gas Oil or Liquefied
Natural Gas; the remaining fuels outside of these four fuel types (reported under 'Other' fuels,
see figure 3) amounted to 0.11% of the fuel used during the 2021 reporting period.

Annex, page 5

Figure 2: The aggregated annual amount of each type of fuel oil consumed by all ships
of 5,000 GT and above

22 Total fuel used by the reported ships was higher during the 2021 reporting period
when compared to the 2020 reporting period; fuel used for Bulk carriers and Containerships
increased when compared to 2020. There were 12,623,121 tonnes of Liquefied Natural Gas
in 2021 (5.95% of the reported fuel) compared to 11,974,761 tonnes of Liquefied Natural Gas
in 2020. Compared to 2020, the use of Liquefied Natural Gas increased significantly,
particularly for Bulk carriers, Containerships and Cruise passenger ships.

23 When analysing the data it was also found some fuel oil was reported incorrectly, such
as VLSFO and LFO, under the "Other" fuel category. This issue was rectified by moving these
ships to be under the Heavy Fuel Oil fuel category in-line with the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020
in that the Low Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil has the same emission factors as conventional HFO.

Figure 3: The aggregated annual amount of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Methanol,
Ethanol and other fuels (ethane and biofuel) reported under the “Other” category
consumed by all ships of 5,000 GT and above

24 Figure 3 shows fuels, which were used during the 2021 reporting period that are not
either Heavy Fuel Oil, Light Fuel Oil, Diesel/Gas Oil or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). In total
the fuels in figure 3 represent 0.11% of the reported fuel oil in 2021. In 2021, 34,973 tonnes of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - Propane, 2,028 tonnes of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) -
Butane, 13,031 tonnes of Methanol and 4,849 tonnes of Ethanol were reported. The remaining
fuel was reported under the "Other" fuel type category in GISIS. In the "Other" fuel type
category, 102,921 tonnes of Ethane and 67,580 tonnes of biofuel (including B50 and B100
Biofuels, HVO and Used Cooking Oil) were reported.

25 There are many different types and mixtures of biofuels. As explained further in
document MEPC 76/6/1 (Secretariat), given that the use of ethane and biofuel is very low, it is
recommended that ships using ethane or biofuel as a fuel continue to report under the "Other"
category, specifying a user-defined description and CF value in GISIS for the time being;
however, in the future the Committee may wish to consider amending the 2018 Guidelines on
the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships,
as set out in resolution MEPC.308(73), to include ethane and biofuel.

Figure 4: The aggregated annual amount of each type of fuel oil consumed for ships
of 5,000 GT and above by EEDI ship type, including the "Others" and "Passenger
ship" categories for ships not subject to EEDI for the 2021 reporting period

26 Figure 4 shows how different fuels were used by different ship types during the 2021
reporting period. During the reporting period the majority of fuel oil was consumed by three
ship types: Containerships, Bulk carriers and Tankers. Compared to the 2020 reporting period,
fuel used for Bulk carriers and Containerships increased, the fuel used for Tankers slightly
decreased. The aggregated data used to create figure 4 is also in table 2.

27 In accordance with paragraph 6.2 of the 2022 Guidelines, table 2 contains the
aggregated annual amount of each type of fuel oil consumed for ships of 5,000 GT and above
by EEDI ship type and EEDI size category, including the "Others" and "Passenger ship"
categories for ships not subject to EEDI.

28 In accordance with paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 of the 2022 Guidelines, table 3 contains
the number of ships that reported, including the aggregated Gross Tonnage, aggregated
Deadweight, and the aggregated annual amount of distance travelled and hours under way for
ships of 5,000 GT and above by EEDI ship type and EEDI size category, including the "Others"
and "Passenger ship" categories for ships not subject to EEDI.

29 With regard to the ships that had been identified on the lists of ships to potentially fall
under the scope of regulation 27 of MARPOL Annex VI, as submitted in January 2021, and for
which no data had been reported, it was not possible to group those missing ships by EEDI
ship type and EEDI size category, as requested in paragraphs 5.5 and 6.4 of
the 2022 Guidelines. This is because it is not possible to determine whether those missing
ships would indeed fall under the scope of regulation 27 and how these ships should be
categorized. The EEDI ship type and EEDI size categories are only defined by Member States
or recognized organizations acting on behalf of Member States when submitting fuel
consumption data to the Fuel Oil Consumption Database module in GISIS. The Secretariat
does not add or alter information by Member States, but can only suggest to Administrations
that they review the data and amend, where appropriate.

Annual development in operational carbon intensity for each ship type and for
international shipping

30 In accordance with paragraph 6.5 of the 2022 Guidelines, as stated in paragraph 1.5
of the 2021 Guidelines on the operational carbon intensity reduction factors relative to
reference lines (CII reduction factors guidelines, G3):

"The Organization should continue to monitor development in annual carbon intensity

improvement using both demand-based and supply-based measurement in parallel
to the annual analysis of the fuel consumption data reported to the IMO DCS"

31 In this regard, table 3 includes AER and cgDIST, supply-based measurements of

carbon intensity. AER (or cgDIST) are calculated for each relevant ship type and size category.
by dividing the total CO2 emissions for each category (paragraphs 34 and 35 explain the use
of CF, conversion factor for calculating CO2 emissions) by the sum of the Deadweight multiplied
by Distance Travelled (or Gross Tonnage multiplied by Distance Travelled for cgDIST).

32 As would be expected, both AER and cgDIST are much larger for smaller ship sizes;
this can be observed in table 3. In table 3, a ship with less than 1,000 DWT in the Ro-ro cargo
ship category has a particularly large AER; after investigation, this was found to be due to the
ship being a high-speed craft.

33 It has not been possible to calculate demand-based measurements of carbon

intensity from the data available in IMO DCS; for this reason the Secretariat issued a tender
for additional data to allow for demand-based measurements to be included in future reporting
to the Committee.

CF, conversion factor between fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

34 The IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database in GISIS automatically assigns a value
for the carbon conversion factor (CF) for each fuel that is submitted for each ship according to
the type of fuel that has been entered by the user. The CF values are consistent with
the 2018 Guidelines on the method of calculation of the attained Energy Efficiency Design
Index (EEDI) for new ships, as set out in resolution MEPC.308(73). A user can also select
"Other" for fuel types that are not on the list; this allows a user to enter a user-defined fuel
name and CF value. CO2 emissions are calculated by multiplying the quantity of fuel used by
the corresponding carbon conversion factor (CF).

35 The CF value of each fuel that is used for each ship is available in both the anonymized
and non-anonymized data that can be downloaded from the IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption
Database in GISIS. Ships reporting the use of Low Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil may also report
under the Heavy Fuel Oil fuel category in line with the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020 in that the
emission factors for Low Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil are the same as for conventional HFO.

Downloading the data from the Ship Fuel Oil Consumption module in GISIS

36 Administrations can download non-anonymized data for ships flying its flag; this is
data that has been submitted to GISIS by the Administration or on their behalf. In accordance
with regulation 27.12 of MARPOL Annex VI, Parties to MARPOL Annex VI also have access
to the data of all ships submitted to GISIS in an anonymized format; ship-related data is
rounded to two significant figures.
