⛽📈 How can I view and analyze a vessel’s fuel consumption over time and by fuel type in Fleettracker?
The Fuel Consumption Overview in the Performance module allows users to monitor and analyze vessel fuel usage over time. By selecting a ship and time frame, users can visualize consumption trends in a chart and review detailed consumption data per event and fuel type, including cumulative totals and daily averages.
1. Select Vessel and Time Frame
At the top of the page:
- Choose a Ship Group (optional)
- Select a Ship
- Define the time period:
- Preset: 30 / 90 / 365 days
- Or custom date range
- Click Update to load the data
2. Fuel Consumption Chart
The chart provides a visual overview of fuel usage:
- Displays fuel consumption per event over time
- Each bar represents a reporting event (e.g. NOON, BOSP, EOSP)
- X-axis = timeline
- Y-axis = fuel consumption (metric tons)
Use the chart to:
- Identify consumption trends
- Detect unusual spikes
- Compare operational phases (e.g. port vs sailing)
3. Detailed Consumption Table
Below the chart, a table shows detailed data for each event.
Main Columns:
- Timestamp – When the report was created
- Time since last report – Reporting interval
- Event Type – Operational event (NOON, ARRIVAL, etc.)
- Bunker Port – Location of bunkering
- Distance – Distance travelled
- Total Consumption – Total fuel used in that period
4. Fuel Type Breakdown
Fuel consumption is split by fuel types, such as for example:
- HFO
- MGO
- VLSFO
- Biofuels (e.g. B30, B50, BIO_DIESEL)
For each fuel type, the following values are shown:
- Consumption – Usage per event
- Sum up – Total consumption over selected period
- Avg. per day – Average daily consumption (mt/day)
5. Export Options
You can export the data using:
- Copy
- Excel
Use Cases
- Monitor vessel fuel performance over time
- Compare fuel usage across voyages or operational modes
- Validate reported fuel data
- Support emissions and regulatory reporting
Tips
- Use consistent reporting intervals for accurate analysis
- Compare distance vs consumption to assess efficiency
- Investigate spikes using event type context
- Use fuel breakdown to track compliance and fuel mix
