Example values: Main engine power (MCR) 9,500 kW, Engine load 75 %, Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) 175 g/kWh, Generator consumption 2.5 t/gün. With these values the results are:
| Main engine daily consumption | 29.93 t/gün |
|---|---|
| Total daily consumption | 32.43 t/gün |
| Hourly consumption | 1,351 kg/saat |
How to use: Daily Fuel Consumption
- Enter your own values: Main engine power (MCR), Engine load, Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC), Generator consumption.
- Results are calculated as you type: Main engine daily consumption, Total daily consumption, Hourly consumption.
- Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below.
How is it calculated?
- Main engine daily consumption = [Main engine power (MCR)] × [Engine load] ÷ 100 × [Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC)] × 24 ÷ 1,000,000
- Total daily consumption = [Main engine daily consumption] + [Generator consumption]
- Hourly consumption = [Total daily consumption] ÷ 24 × 1,000

FCRSOFT does this for you automatically
You don’t need to do the calculations and checks on this page by hand every day. FCRSOFT derives them all automatically from the records entered in the field.
- Fuel, port and canal costs are recorded for every voyage.
- TCE and voyage result are compared as estimate versus actual.
- Bunker purchases and consumption are tracked per voyage.
Frequently asked questions
How is Daily Fuel Consumption calculated?
Calculate daily fuel consumption from main engine power, engine load and specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC). The calculation uses Voyage Economics Engine: Calculates voyage result and TCE from distance, speed, sea and port days, fuel, port, canal and hire costs.
How is Total daily consumption found?
Total daily consumption = [Main engine daily consumption] + [Generator consumption]. With the example values (Main engine power (MCR) 9,500 kW, Engine load 75 %, Specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) 175 g/kWh, Generator consumption 2.5 t/gün) the result is 32.43 t/gün.
