Consumption & Waste

Features

All 13 Features

Every feature in Consumption & Waste is built for daily maritime work — simple to use, fast to navigate, and fully integrated with the rest of Navatom.

01

23 Fuel & Lubricant Types

Track each fuel and lubricant grade your fleet uses with 23 built-in consumable types. The 9 fossil fuel grades cover the full range of marine propulsion and auxiliary fuels. They are MGO, MDO, IFO, MFO, HFO, LFO, LNG, and LPG butane and propane.

The 2 sustainable fuels, Ethanol and Methanol, support the move to alternative energy sources.

The 10 lubricant grades cover each mechanical system onboard. They are Engine Oil, Cylinder Oil, System Oil, Hydraulic Oil, Gear Oil, Air Compressor Oils, Refrigeration Oils, Gas Compressor Oils, Bearing and Circulating Oils, and Turbine Oils. Each type carries a predefined CO2 conversion factor (CF). That allows automatic emission calculation with no manual lookup or setup.

  • 9 fossil fuel grades (MGO, MDO, IFO, MFO, HFO, LFO, LNG, 2 LPG)
  • 2 sustainable fuels (Ethanol, Methanol)
  • 12 lubricant grades (Engine, Cylinder, Hydraulic, etc.)
  • Per-type CO2 conversion factors (CF)
  • Ready for alternative fuel transition

02

Five Transaction Log Types

Record each consumable movement with 5 purpose-built transaction types. Operational logs capture daily consumption during normal vessel operations.

Loss logs document unexpected depletion: leaks, spills, or measurement discrepancies. Addition logs record bunkering, freshwater loading, and lubricant top-ups.

Offboard logs track transfers to shore facilities, barges, or other vessels. Waste logs record sludge discharge, bilge water processing, and garbage disposal.

Each transaction type captures quantity, date, remarks, and the responsible officer. This builds a complete, categorized ledger of each consumable movement.

  • Operational: daily consumption
  • Loss: spills, leaks, discrepancies
  • Addition: bunkering & top-ups
  • Offboard: transfers to shore/barge
  • Waste: sludge, bilge, garbage disposal

03

CO2 Emission Calculation

Calculate CO2 emissions automatically from fuel consumption data using per-fuel-type conversion factors (CF). Each of the 23 fuel and lubricant types carries its own CF value. That allows precise emission calculation with no manual lookup tables or external spreadsheet formulas.

The same fuel factors drive the per-voyage emissions reporting in Navatom Voyage, for EU MRV, IMO DCS and CII.

  • Per-fuel CO2 conversion factors (CF)
  • Tonnes of CO2 from every fuel entry
  • One factor per fuel, from HFO to methanol
  • CII reporting data foundation
  • The basis for per-voyage emissions reporting

04

10 Consumption & Waste Categories

Organize all consumables and waste streams into 10 structured categories that mirror real operations. The 5 consumable categories cover each input your vessels need. They are Residual and Distillate Fuels, Lubricants, Additives, Fresh Water, and Technical Water.

The 4 waste categories track each output that needs disposal or offloading. They are Sludge, Dirty Oil, Bilge, and Garbage.

Each category carries its own storage rules (single or multiple items per ship), rank-based access authorization, and unit of measurement defaults. Per-category setup means engine officers manage fuel and lubricant records while deck officers handle water and garbage. This reflects the real split of duties onboard.

  • 5 consumable categories (Fuels, Lubricants, Additives, Water)
  • 4 waste categories (Sludge, Dirty Oil, Bilge, Garbage)
  • Category-specific storage rules
  • Rank-based access per category
  • Unit of measurement defaults

05

Daily Amount Tracking

Track consumption by the day, with automatic delta calculation between today's amount and the running total. Each consumable item keeps a current total quantity (ROB, Remaining on Board). It also keeps a daily amount. Engineers can monitor daily burn rates and spot anomalies at once.

The per-date record answers what was on board on any past day.

  • Daily delta vs. running total (ROB)
  • Per-date historical queries
  • Remaining on board for any past date
  • Every entry with who and when

06

Five Units of Measurement

Measure consumables and waste in the unit that matches each category and use. The 5 supported units cover each measurement standard used across global maritime operations. They are Metric Tonnes (MT), Cubic Metres (M³), Litres, Kilograms (KG), and Gallons.

Units are assigned per item. Fuel quantities are tracked in MT, lubricant volumes use Litres and freshwater uses M³. Consistent units across the fleet remove conversion errors and allow accurate aggregation in analytics. They also make sure regulatory reports use the correct measurement basis.

  • Metric Tonnes (MT) for fuels
  • Cubic Metres (M³) for water
  • Litres for lubricants
  • Kilograms (KG) and Gallons
  • Consistent unit enforcement fleet-wide

07

PMS Equipment Integration

Link consumable items directly to the Planned Maintenance System equipment hierarchy. Attach specific fuel types to main engines, generators, and boilers.

Connect lubricant grades to the machinery that consumes them. Cylinder oil goes to main engine cylinders, hydraulic oil to deck cranes, and gear oil to reduction gearboxes.

Equipment integration creates a two-way link, so engineers see which consumables belong to each piece of equipment.

  • Link consumables to PMS equipment hierarchy
  • Fuel-to-engine association
  • Lubricant-to-machinery mapping
  • Two-way equipment-consumable visibility
  • Equipment links kept in the item's history

08

Rank-Based Access Control

Control who holds authority over consumable records with per-category rank authorization. Engine officers record fuels, lubricants, additives, sludge, dirty oil and bilge.

Deck officers record fresh water, technical water and garbage, and the office follows each entry from its own app.

Rank-based access reflects the real split of duties onboard. The Chief Engineer owns bunker management, while the Master oversees water and waste compliance. The system prevents unauthorized modifications and ensures accountability. It supports the ISM Code's call for clear assignment of duties in safety-critical operations.

  • Engine officers: fuels, oils, sludge and bilge
  • Deck officers: water and garbage
  • Category-specific authorization
  • Matches ISM Code responsibilities
  • Enforced on every entry

09

Storage Rule Configuration

Configure whether each consumption category allows a single item or multiple items per ship. Single-item categories (e.g., Fresh Water) keep one running total per vessel, simple and unambiguous.

Multiple-item categories (e.g., Lubricants) allow separate tracking of each grade: Cylinder Oil, System Oil, Hydraulic Oil. Each has independent quantities and transaction histories.

Storage rules are set at the category level and enforced fleet-wide. This keeps the data structure consistent across all vessels. When a category is set to single storage, the system prevents duplicate items.

When it is set to multiple storage, it allows unlimited items. Each item is clearly identified by type and equipment association.

  • Single or multiple items per category
  • Fleet-wide consistency enforcement
  • Duplicate prevention for single-item categories
  • Unlimited items for multi-item categories

10

Comments & File Attachments

Document each consumable record with threaded comments and multi-file attachments. Add remarks to explain unusual consumption events. Examples are a bunker quality issue, a tank measurement discrepancy, or a waste discharge operation.

Attach supporting files: bunker delivery notes, fuel quality certificates, waste disposal receipts, and tank sounding records.

Several files upload at once with progress shown. Each comment and file action (add, edit, remove) is recorded in the event log with full user attribution.

Structured transaction data and contextual documentation together create a complete record for regulatory compliance and operational review.

  • Threaded comments per consumable item
  • Several files uploaded at once
  • Bunker delivery notes & certificates
  • Waste disposal receipts
  • Full event logging per action

11

Consumption Balance Chart

A chart shows each item's balance on a vessel through the year. It shows what was added, used, lost, delivered ashore and discharged as waste.

  • Balance per vessel, item and year
  • Additions, use, losses and waste side by side

12

Deprecation & Lifecycle Management

Manage the full lifecycle of consumable items with active and deprecated status tracking. A fuel type may be phased out, a lubricant grade replaced, or an additive no longer used. Mark the item as Deprecated rather than deleting it.

Deprecated items keep their full transaction history for audit purposes, while hidden from active views.

Restore lets you reactivate deprecated items when needed. A fuel type may return to service, or a lubricant grade may be re-sourced. The lifecycle model keeps views clean without losing historical data. It suits both daily use and long-term record-keeping.

  • Active & Deprecated item statuses
  • Deprecated items retain full history
  • Restore capability for reactivation
  • Clean operational views preserved

13

Complete Audit Trail

Each action in Consumption & Waste is recorded with who and when. This covers items added and retired, each entry and its edits, linked equipment, comments and files.

  • Items added and retired
  • Every entry and its edits
  • Linked equipment, comments and files
  • Who and when on every change

Technical

Under the Hood

Architecture and engineering behind Consumption & Waste — data handling, real-time sync, and interface design.

CO2 Emission Factor Engine

Each fuel type carries its CO2 conversion factor, from HFO to methanol. So emissions follow from the quantities with no lookup table. The same factors drive the EEOI and per-voyage emissions reporting.

Rank-Authorized Category Access

Per-category rank authorization enforces authority at the data level. Engine officers manage fuel, lubricant and additive categories while deck officers manage water and garbage. Authorization is checked on every write operation. This prevents unauthorized changes, whatever the state of the client screen.

Complete Change History

Each item, entry, file and comment change is recorded as it happens, with who and when. The same record feeds the audit trail and notifications.
