Cruise Ship Fuel Consumption & Bunker Cost Calculator

Estimate annual cruise-ship fuel consumption, bunker spend, CO₂ emissions and passenger-day economics from sea and port operating profiles. Advanced mode separates primary and secondary fuels, shore-power fuel reduction, anchorage/tender operations, bunkering fees, carbon value, multi-year price escalation and downside stress cases.

Cruise Bunker Planning Checks

Planning limitation: cruise fuel consumption varies with itinerary, speed, weather, displacement, hull/propeller condition, HVAC and hotel demand, passenger count, port stays, shore-power availability, machinery efficiency and fuel properties. Advanced LNG or alternative-fuel inputs use user-entered fuel mass and direct CO₂ factors; this calculator does not model methane slip or lifecycle GHG intensity.
