3. Method C: Flow meters for applicable combustion processes
This method is based on measured fuel flows on-board. The data from all flow meters linked to relevant CO_(2) emission sources shall be combined to determine all fuel consumption for a specific period. The period means the time between two port calls or time within a port. For the fuel used during a period, the fuel type and the sulphur content need to be monitored. The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with flow meters used shall be specified in the monitoring plan. Where the amount of fuel consumed is determined in units of volume, expressed in litres, the company shall convert that amount from volume to mass by using actual density values. The company shall determine the actual density by using one of the following: on-board measurement systems; the density measured by the fuel supplier at fuel uplift and recorded on the fuel invoice or BDN. The actual density shall be expressed in kg/l and determined for the applicable temperature for a specific measurement. In cases for which actual density values are not available, a standard density factor for the relevant fuel type shall be applied once assessed by the verifier.
