Fuel Consumption (DCS)
Fuel Consumption and Carbon Intensity
Data on annual fuel consumption and carbon intensity trends of international shipping based on the IMO Data Collection System (DCS). Find out more here.
Annual Fuel Consumption Data
These figures show the aggregated annual amount of each type of fuel that was used in the 2022 reporting period. (Source: IMO DCS)
Annual fuel oil consumption (all ships)
Annual amount of each type of fuel oil consumed by all ships of 5,000 GT and above from 2019 to 2022.
Annual fuel oil consumption (by ship type)
How different fuels were used by different ship types during the 2022 reporting period.
Annual fuel oil consumption (alternative fuels only)
Aggregated annual amount of alternative fuels consumption (LNG, LPG, methanol, ethanol and ethane and biofuel).
Annual fuel oil consumption (alternative fuel except LNG)
Aggregated annual amount of alternative fuels consumption except LNG (LPG, methanol, ethanol, ethane and biofuel).
Carbon Intensity Trends
The figures below show overall development/trend in carbon intensity on the basis of the Fourth IMO GHG Study 2020 data and the data submitted to IMO DCS combined with the procured data. (Source: IMO)
Supply-based carbon intensity
Overall development/trend in carbon intensity, using supply-based measures which indicating the CO2 emissions per transport work proxy (similar to AER or cgDIST of individual ships).
Demand-based carbon intensity
Overall development/trend in carbon intensity which indicating the CO2 emissions per actual transport work of international shipping (similar to EEOI of individual ships).
