Bunkers Remaining on Board (BROB)
Also known as: brob, bunkers remaining on board, fuel remaining, remaining bunkers
The quantity of fuel remaining in a vessel's bunker tanks at a specific point in time, typically measured in metric tons.
BROB (Bunkers Remaining on Board) represents the amount of fuel left on a vessel at a defined reporting point, such as the completion of a voyage, vessel delivery, redelivery, or port arrival and departure. It is a critical figure in charter party performance, voyage accounting, and financial settlements, as it determines the value of fuel transferred between parties. Accurate BROB measurements help verify bunker consumption, support operational planning, prevent disputes, and ensure transparent settlement of fuel costs.
