1. A new report opens full screen; Save is at the top right and the calculated ROB of every fuel is shown in the fixed line below it.
2. Fuel, oil, slip and sludge/bilge sections start collapsed and their header shows the consumption and ROB summary. Open only what changed: a fuel section shows M/E and A/E consumption; open + Fuel received (bunker) when fuel was taken, and + Other consumers for boiler/incinerator/other. The Previous note under a field is the last report's value and is not copied into the form. The Next: … › button at the bottom of each section closes it and opens the next one; the Summary card at the end shows consumption, ROB and any sections not entered or needing a check.
3. Opening ROB comes from the previous report; tap the pencil next to it to change it or mark it as measured. If a value is invalid, tapping Save opens the related section with a red border.
4. Select the report date and time.
5. Choose the report type: Daily report with the continuing status for routine reports; End of sea passage (EOSP), Drop anchor, Anchor up, Berthed, Unberthed or Commencement of sea passage (COSP) when the status changes. The app sets the status of the period that follows. Use Special status for dry dock, shore connection and laid-up.
6. Consumption entered on a report belongs to the period since the previous report; for example the Drop anchor report closes a sea period and the next report closes an anchor period. Reporting at the moment the status changes keeps the analysis accurate.
7. Open Consumption · last 30 days at the top of the screen: each bar is the MT/day of one period between reports, coloured for sea, manoeuvring, anchor or port. Tap a bar to see its times, duration and consumption; an orange dot marks periods more than 20% away from their own operation's average.
8. Check the opening ROB carried from the previous report for every fuel and lubricating-oil group.

5. A step cannot be passed with Next while its required fields are empty. If a needed tank definition is missing, use Add tank now in step 1 to add it without leaving the form; what you entered is kept. If you tap Change operation after entering values, you are asked first because they will be cleared.
6. For bilge/sludge fields the tank is picked from the defined tank list via a dropdown; capacity is auto-filled and locked. Frame range is part of the tank name.
7. When Save is pressed in step 3, the system computes the tank balance from previous ORB entries and runs a consistency check: if the reported retained amount does not match previous ± the operation amount, an error is shown and the entry is refused.
8. Capacity overruns and negative amounts are also rejected.
9. The Current ROB card at the top of My records shows the last known retained volume / capacity for every bilge/sludge tank.
10. The Examples tab lists 26 sample records with a code filter (H/D/C/F/I); the examples are drawn up with reference to the official IMO MARPOL Annex I documents. Each example includes a Notes section with Turkish/English explanations.
