Eco MR tankers 'save 25 in fuel costs'

摘要

Research by Stolt Nielsen shows that 'eco' design MR tankers use up to $6,000-worth of fuel less each day than conventional ships, according to Oslo shipping analyst Arctic. "The design is realising the expected savings of 25 in fuel costs," said Arctic's Erik Nikolai Stavseth, who noted that the company has reported a fuel-efficiency gain of $3,900 per day for its MRs - above the Arctic estimate of $3,200 per day. The results were not subject to a specific trade.
