Veson Nautical IMO 2020 Functionality

NoteConfiguration flag CFGEnableScrubberType must be enabled.

Fuel Type Setup

All required Fuel/Lube Types can be setup set up in the Data Center. Names and descriptions are fully editable, and each entered Type can be designated as High Sulfur, Low Sulfur, or General. Backup Fuel for each Type can also be set, which allows users to specify which Type should be used in the event that the primary Type runs out or is not available.

...

Warning

Note: Selecting IMO 2020 for existing Fuel Zone sets will break backward compatibility with respect to P&L.

When configuration flag CFGEnableScrubberType is enabled, the The Fuel Zones form includes two separate configurations for vessels that are scrubber fitted and those that are not. The Non-Scrubber tab functions the same as the previous Fuel Zones. Both Non-Scrubber and Scrubber tabs allow H (High Sulfur) and G (General) Fuel Types to be selected, instead of only L (Low Sulfur) Types.

An additional zone has been added: Worldwide NON-ECA. This encompasses all waters and ports that are not in ECA zones, and are not marked as Low Sulfur. The Worldwide Zone encompasses ports that are not in ECA Zones , but are marked as Low Sulfur.

...

The IMO 2020 regulation allows vessels to burn high-sulfur fuel as long as the vessel is fitted with and using a scrubber. Port Authorities around the world will determine their own regulations for permission of scrubber usage at the port. To accommodate the regulations, Veson Nautical is adding the selection of the types of scrubbers on both the Vessel (in use) and Port (allowed) levels.

...

  • Open Loop scrubbers allow for the retained emission waste to be dumped into the water.
  • Closed Loop scrubbers require the vessel to carry the emission and discharge it at designated facilities in port.
  • Hybrid operates as either open or closed loopOpen Loop or Closed Loop.

Vessel

On the Vessel form, a Scrubber drop-down menu replaces the previous Use Scrubbers check box.

...

  • Info N/A (default): Information is not available.
  • Open Loop: Open Loop scrubbers are allowed in port; if the vessel has Closed Loop scrubbers, it will also be allowed.
  • Closed Loop: Only Closed Loop scrubbers are allowed.
  • Not Allowed: Scrubbers are not allowed at all.
Excerpt

Note: Configuration When configuration flag Enable Port Fuel Availability must be enabled.A CFGEnablePortFuelAvailability is enabled, a Fuel Type/Grade Availability grid appears on the Port form, in which the Fuel Types and Grades that are available at the port can be captured.

These fuels appear when you hover on ports in the Estimate and Voyage map views.

...

The below recommendations outline configurations based on commonly used existing setups. However, the delivered features described above offer significant flexibility and can accommodate a wide range of setups.GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS:

General Assumptions

There are 3 fuel types:

  1. 3.5% (only scrubber-fitted vessels will have this onboard)
  2. 0.5% (the new high-sulfur fuel)
  3. 0.1% (the new low-sulfur fuel)

ASSUMPTIONS FOR SCRUBBER-ENABLED VESSELS:

...

Assumptions for Scrubber-Enabled Vessels

For scrubbers with 0.5% output:

  • In areas where 0.1% is required, the vessel will either burn LSG 0.1% or ultra-low fuel oil 0.1%
  • In areas

...

  • where the port restricts Open Loop scrubbers, the vessel will either burn LSG 0.1% or ultra-low fuel oil 0.1%
  • Scrubbers with 0.1% output:
  • In areas where

            Debunkering Best Practices

            If needed, you can debunker a lifted quantity or transfer bunker quantities between two types. On the Bunker Liftings form, enter a negative lifted quantity.

            On the Bunker Lifting Selection form, select the FIFO lot to remove the quantity from; it does not have to be the last lot. The FIFO queue is modified.

            The price for the negative quantity is defined by the invoice price.

            If Use Scrubbers was previously selected for a vessel, it defaults to a Hybrid Scrubber scrubber.

            When enabled, a scrubber drop-down menu appears on the Port, Voyage Bunkers, Bunker Planning, and Vessel forms accessed through an Estimate. On the Port and Vessel forms, the drop-down menu reflects scrubber values allowed at the port and equipped in the vessel. On the Voyage Estimate and Voyage, it reflects the scrubber type used for bunker calculations. On the Vessel form, the “Use Scrubbers” check box is replaced with the new “Scrubber Type” drop-down menu. The Fuel Zones form has two tabs to support “Scrubber” and “Non-Scrubber” configurations. These new options facilitate bunker calculations to use the new IMO 2020 regulations.
            Enable Vessel Scrubbers
            CFGEnableVesselScrubbers
            Adds a Scrubbers Active field to the Vessel form, in which you can record the date when scrubbers were installed.
