ureau Veritas further expands its support to ship-
owners and the industry with the introduction of the
first phase of My Fuel Consumption - a cloud-based
and secure web application available for use on
desktop, mobile and tablet.
My Fuel Consumption makes compliance easy,
with a digitized process throughout the various steps
of IMO-DCS (declaration of fuel consumption) and EU
MRV regulations (CO2 emissions). These regulations
aim to reduce emissions and protect the environ-
ment.
All ships of 5,000 GT and above must submit IMO-DCS plan to receive
a confirmation of compliance, from their flag states or delegated Recog-
nized Organizations (ROs) before January 1st, 2019. Phase 1 of My Fuel
Consumption, enables owners to fill in and submit their Ship Energy Effi-
ciency Management Plans (SEEMPs) Part II as requested by IMO-DCS for
their Bureau Veritas classed ships using the app, and then to follow the
review progress on-line and download their confirmation of compliance.
From 2019 onwards, all ships of 5,000 GT and above will need to col-
lect, aggregate and report fuel consumption data for each year, before

verify and validate the ship data by May 31 and issue annually IMO-DCS
statements of compliance to shipowners. This is already effective from
2018 onwards for EU-MRV applicable ships.
Phase 2 of My Fuel Consumption, planned for June, will enable owners
to complete their declarations, for both IMO-DCS and EU-MRV, through
one unique online form. Owners will also be able to follow-up progress of
their reviews with Bureau Veritas using the app and then download their
statement of compliance. This will be effective for their BV-classed ships
and MRV ships contracted with Bureau Veritas.
Laurent Hentges, Vice President Operational Excellence, Bureau Veritas,
commented: ‘The whole point of My Fuel Consumption is to make life sim-
pler and easier for our clients, and therefore contribute to the reduction of
emissions. It also helps them to get accessible, accurate and useful data as
well as being a compliance tool.’ bureauveritas.com
