In accordance with the amendments of MARPOL (Marine Pollution treaty) Annex Ⅵ that were adopted at 70th session of the MEPC (Marine Environment Protection Committee), as from 1 March 2018, the fuel oil consumption data of all ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above engaged on international voyages, must be collected. Consequently, ships that come under the amendments must verify a ship fuel oil consumption data collection plan (SEEMP Part II) and report the collected data.
