Flotel / Accommodation Unit Fuel & CO₂

Contents

Live calculator

Accommodation and support units hosting offshore crews during platform campaigns. CII-exempt; daily fuel-per-POB (person on board) benchmark.

Formula

$$ \text{CO}2^\text{year} = \sum_j F_j \cdot C{f,j} $$

$$ \text{Intensity} = \frac{\text{CO}2 \cdot 1000}{\text{POB} \cdot d\text{op}} $$

Flotels compete with shore-based crew changes. A typical semi-submersible flotel burns ~ 15 t MGO/day; per-POB intensity sits 30–45 kg CO₂/person-day.
