Bunker ROB, Range & Endurance Calculator

Turn remaining-on-board fuel into a practical voyage fuel position. Calculate safe steaming endurance, maximum range, voyage consumption, arrival ROB and minimum bunker uplift while protecting the reserve you choose. Advanced mode tracks multiple liquid fuel grades separately, keeps unpumpable fuel outside the usable reserve, identifies the limiting grade and stress-tests weather, adverse current and port delay.

Current Fuel Position

Nine inputs answer the core range and bunker question.

MT currently remaining on board.
MT expected before the modeled voyage.
MT/day at the entered average speed.
knots speed over ground for this simple screen.
MT not intended for normal voyage consumption.
nautical miles. Enter 0 for range-only planning.
% uplift applied to daily sea burn.
MT/day during the entered port / idle period.

Voyage & Operating Basis

Speed over ground is through-water speed plus entered average current. Route allowance increases effective distance.

Fuel Grade Register

Track each liquid fuel grade independently. The first sea-consuming grade to reach its protected floor controls modeled safe endurance and range. Protected floor = arrival reserve + unpumpable fuel.

Stress Scenario Register

Each case is recalculated against the same ROB and planned bunker uplifts. Use it to see how added weather margin, current and delay change the limiting range and minimum uplift.

Bunker Planning Readiness

Planning limitation: no universal fixed reserve percentage is assumed. Actual bunker requirements depend on vessel-specific consumption, weather, current, route deviation, draft/trim, hull and machinery condition, port delay, fuel changeover, auxiliary demand, unpumpable quantities, company policy, charterparty instructions and applicable operational requirements. Confirm the final bunker plan using current vessel data and the approved voyage plan.
