Fuel Consumption Calculator
Estimate voyage fuel consumption from daily fuel burn, distance and average speed. The calculator converts distance and speed into steaming time, then applies the vessel's daily consumption rate. Add a fuel price to estimate voyage fuel cost. Use separate, realistic consumption figures for sea passage and port time; weather, currents, hull condition, engine load and fuel changeover can materially alter the final quantity.

FAQs
How is voyage fuel consumption calculated?
Estimated steaming days equal distance divided by speed and 24. The tool multiplies steaming days by the daily fuel-consumption rate.
Should I include a fuel reserve?
Yes. Apply the reserve and margin required by the voyage plan, company procedure and expected weather instead of treating the estimate as the minimum fuel to sail.
Does the calculator replace a bunker plan?
No. Verify the result against vessel performance data, ROB figures, tank capacities, fuel changeover requirements and the approved voyage plan.
