There’s More Than One Way to Save Fuel.

Fuel prices are rising more than ever before. Creative engineers are offering cost-conscious shipping lines countless ways of saving fuel. The KRAL fuel consumption meter is a quick and easy way of verifying the effectiveness of fuel-saving solutions.

Shipping lines which have introduced a policy of reducing the speeds of their ocean-going vessels can save some 10% on fuel. The scales involved are enormous and show the huge savings potential.

A large shipping line with 80 ships needs approx. 1.6 million tones of bunker fuel a year. A 6% saving corresponds to 96,000 tones. At a price of USD 550 per tone of IFO 380 that comes to around USD 53 million. The KRAL fuel consumption meter can help with this savings. The systems for all 80 ships will pay for themselves within a month.
