Fuel saving ships Geertruida
Between 2010 and 2011, these companies have employed a variety of measures aimed at achieving substantial fuel savings.
Results of using DFC 2020
It should be noted here that nothing was done on the UK-184, in order that the differences could be measured.
All the measures were implemented on the FD-291 since 2009, here they had for longer time been experimenting with fuel additives. The vessel has been using DFC 2020 diesel fuel conditioner since 2011.

Total fuel saving
The total consumption for 2010 is 6,324,130 litres of diesel and for 2011 5,859,391 litres of diesel. That represents a saving of 464,739 litres of diesel or 464,739 x +/- 60 cents = 278,630 euros.
The expectation is that overall 2012 will come in less expensive than 2011 and will see savings of around 15% compared to 2010. During 2012, all four vessels will go to sea the entire year with DFC-2020 added to their fuel.
