What is NEURS? Navy Energy Usage Reporting System (NEURS) Provides information on the inventory, re-supply, sale, and consumption of F76 and JP5 aboard ships. OPNAVINST 4100.11C Describes policy and reporting requirements supporting NEURS. All commissioned Navy ships (except nuclear submarines) must submit NEURS reports monthly to document fuel consumption. NEURS reports are prepared in accordance with applicable Fleet instructions: COMLANTFLTINST 4100.3, COMPACFLTINST 9261.1A

NEURS Objectives Automate and consolidate asset employment scheduling and fuel consumption monitoring Enhance fuel conservation awareness Identify potential fuel surplus or deficits Efficiently manage fuel allocations and monitor consumption at all levels of command Support operational scheduling

When are NEURS reports submitted? NLT the 3rd of every month. 16th of the last month of a quarter (Dec, Mar, June, Sept). Within 3 days after CHOP date when changing Operational Command (OPCON). NEURS reports are submitted using the Innovative Readiness Reporting Initiative (IRRI) NEURS program if available. Consolidated on the TYCOM Readiness Management System (TRMS) / NEURS web-based database. NEURS reports are not submitted when operating under Emissions Control (EMCON) conditions. Sent as soon as EMCON restrictions are lifted. EMCON is a condition in which electromagnetic emissions do not exceed a set limit to help avoid electronic detection.

NEURS Useful Definitions Fuel Consumed Underway: Total amount of fuel consumed for propulsion and normal ship services while underway. Fuel Consumed Not Underway: Total amount of fuel consumed when not underway for all ships’ services. It includes fuel consumed when lighting off and warming up the main propulsion plant preparatory to getting underway, or in testing machinery components or making dock trials during tender or shipyard availabilities. Loss by Inventory: Any fuel lost overboard or off-loaded to a barge or shore establishment for which the CMOB will receive no credit. A loss can also result from ships’ sounding differing from the delivery ship/activity, spills, surveys, stripping, contamination, or temperature variations.

NEURS Useful Definitions Cont. Hours Underway: Period commencing with the time the Eng. Dep. reports “ready to answer all bells” until the order to “secure main engine” is received from the bridge. Hours Not Underway: Period during which a ship is moored or anchored, commencing when the order is received to “secure main engines,” and ending when the Eng. Dep. reports “ready to answer all bells.” Hours Cold Iron: Period during which the ship does not consume any fuel to provide propulsion or ship service requirements OPTEMPO

Example NEURS Report The following slides show a Sample NEURS Report developed in accordance with COMPACINST 9261.1A. Any differences with LANTFLT NEURS instructions is assumed to be minor. Each NEURS report contains 6 paragraphs which document a ships fuel usage each month.

Example NEURS Report – Paragraph 1 1. V21449 (UIC) A. 033110 (Last day of reporting period) B. 0 (Report #, 0=original) C. 9 (Days Underway) D. 198 (Hours Underway) E. 9 (Hours Not-Underway) F. 537 (Hours Cold Iron) G. 08 (Operational Commander Code) Values used in iENCON Fuel Reports

(1000) (Gains or losses by inventory. () means loss) M. 594945 (Ending Inventory)

Example NEURS Report – Paragraph 3 3. JP5 A. 15724 (Beginning inventory in Gallons = Last period ending) B. 10187 (received from all DoD sources) C. 0 (received from all commercial sources) D. 0 (received from foreign military and misc. sources) E. 0 (Consumed Underway for ship propulsion) F. 0 (consumed Not-Underway for ship propulsion) G. 0 (consumed Other) H. 10400 (issued to Navy aircraft) I. 10400 (issued to Marine Corps aircraft) J. 0 (issued to US Navy ships including LCACs, but not oilers) K. 0 (transferred to fuel support points, Navy shore activities, oilers) L. 0 (issued to Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, USCG, (not aviation)) M. 0 (issued to foreign military, foreign and commercial activities, and other non-DoD activities) N. 15317 (Gains or losses by inventory. () means loss) O. 20428 (ending inventory)

How iENCON uses NEURS Data iENCON uses NEURS Data to develop quarterly Fuel Reports and class baselines. Hours Underway and Fuel Consumed Underway are used in Encl. 1 to evaluate a ships fuel consumption while Underway. Hours Not Underway and Fuel Consumed Not Underway are used in Encl. 2 to evaluate a ships fuel consumption while Not Underway. Gains/Losses by Inventory are used in Encl. 3 to evaluate a ships overall fuel consumption for the quarter.
