Division 1 The formula

United Kingdom

For the purpose of establishing equivalence within the meaning of Article 3, the following formula shall be used:

S_F (%) · M_F ≤ 0,1 % · M_F0,1 %

Where:

— S_F (%)

percentage of sulphur content per unit of mass of the marine fuel used,

— M_F

mass of the marine fuel consumed while the ship is at berth in kg,

— M_F0,1 %

equivalent mass in kg of a fuel with a sulphur content ≤ 0,1 %. This factor shall be calculated according to the following formula:

M_F0,1 % = (M_BOG · E_BOG + M_F · E_F )/E_F0,1 %

Where:

— M_BOG

mass of the boil-off gas consumed at berth in kg,

— E_BOG

energy value of the boil-off gas used in MJ/kg,

— M_F

mass of the marine fuel consumed at berth in kg,

— E_F

energy value of the marine fuel used in MJ/kg.

— E_F0,1 %

energy value of a marine fuel with a sulphur content ≤ 0,1 % in MJ/kg
