Say, for example, I want to calculate fuel consumption on a 50,000 DWT ship with a transit time of 24 days. The product weighs 45 pounds per cubic foot. First, how much product can I get on the ship. Second, how much fuel will the transit take? I am looking for an average expectation, not a specific case. Can I get any help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-67683184323360878382013-02-26T22:39:28.732+11:002013-02-26T22:39:28.732+11:00And what about of fuel consumption of MDO, during ...And what about of fuel consumption of MDO, during the staying in port under argo-handling operations, and passage channels?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-50433646718628197142012-01-23T22:55:11.861+11:002012-01-23T22:55:11.861+11:00Hmm, very interesting, never heard of it, Thanks.Hmm, very interesting, never heard of it, Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-87004025492527827882012-01-22T22:06:43.633+11:002012-01-22T22:06:43.633+11:00Rena was fitted with a conning station on each bri...Rena was fitted with a conning station on each bridge wing, common on container ships, ro-ro's and ferries. The conning station has bow thruster, main engine and sometimes helm controls to enable the Master and Pilot to control the docking from the wing so they can see the ship coming alongside.<br /><br />AMThe Antipodean Marinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634447361115609766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-40585446858823475022012-01-22T15:57:19.707+11:002012-01-22T15:57:19.707+11:00Thank you for your answer, indeed the economies ar...Thank you for your answer, indeed the economies are great but the sulphur oxides are still high so it sadly more polluting from this point of view.<br />I enjoy the blog since I heard that a blog about Rena has been closed down and I discovered yours.<br />But I still have one question about Rena, what is this command post on the port wing looking out of the water?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-74922132509183597372012-01-19T22:30:37.051+11:002012-01-19T22:30:37.051+11:00Here's the maths.

So 69,000 litres of HFO per day is 2,875 litres per hour, 205 litres per nautical mile. 205 litres/kg consumed to move 202,000 tonnes of iron ore (plus 25,000 tonnes of ship and 3,000 tonnes of bunkers and stores) one Nm. Accepted that this does not include the ballast leg from disport to loadport but the economies of scale of ocean freight compared to any other form of transport are pretty compelling.<br /><br />Glad you enjoy theblog, AMThe Antipodean Marinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634447361115609766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-34011391708279169212012-01-19T00:15:18.526+11:002012-01-19T00:15:18.526+11:00Can ONE gram of bunker move one tonne on one NM ? ...Can ONE gram of bunker move one tonne on one NM ?
