M = (M · E + M · E )/E F0,1 % BOG BOG F F F0,1 %

: mass of the boil-off gas consumed at berth in kg, BOG : energy value of the boil-off gas used in MJ/kg, BOG : mass of the marine fuel consumed at berth in kg, F : energy value of the marine fuel used in MJ/kg. F : energy value of a marine fuel with a sulphur content ≤ 0,1 % in F0,1 % MJ/kg 1 of the formula formulas referred to above can be combined as follows: (%) · M /(M · E + M · E ) ≤ 0,1 %/E F F BOG BOG F F F0,1 % 2 of the formula can be further developed as follows: S (%)/(R · E + E ) ≤ 0,1 %/E F G/F BOG F F0,1 %

:the ratio between the mass of boil-off gas and marine fuel G/F consumed at berth (M /M ) BOG F development can also be expressed in the following way: R ≥ (S (%) · E - 0,1 % · E )/0,1 % · E G/F F F0,1 % F BOG Application of the formula energy values of the different marine fuels involved in the formula are it is justified to use standard values for E , E and E in F0,1 % F BOG simplify the application of the formula in practice. More particularly, the standard energy values may be presumed to apply: E = 43,0 MJ/kg (source: DNV Petroleum Services) F0,1 % E = 40,8 MJ/kg (source: DNV Petroleum Services) F E = 50,0 MJ/kg (ISO energy figure for methane) BOG The formula would accordingly be simplified as follows:

R ≥ 8,6 · S (%) – 0,816 G/F F On this basis, the only value that needs to be introduced to the formula the required ratio between the mass of boil-off gas and marine fuel consumed or M /M ) is the sulphur content of the marine fuel used while BOG F means of examples, the table below indicates the minimum ratio required equivalence criteria for marine fuels with different sulphur contents.
