Reducing The Fuel Costs Of Small Fishing Boats - BOBP/WP/27

The first part of this paper describes the principles of power requirements for small fishing boats and details ways of saving fuel which can be applied both with existing boats and new boats. It also illustrates by example how to estimate the savings from measures to conserve fuel. The second part of the paper describes fuel consumption trials carried out in Sri Lanka. During the trials the two most common Sri Lankan boats - the 18 footer and 28 footer — were used with different engines, propellers and hull conditions, and actual fuel consumption was recorded. The fuel consumption performance of two BOBP craft - SRL-14 and SAL-15 - was tested in comparison with that of the standard 28-footer of Sri Lanka; the fuel performance of another BOBP craft, SRL-17, was compared with that of Sri Lanka’s standard 18-footer. The results of the trials confirmed the validity of the principles and fuel-saving recommendations described in the first part. The trials were conducted in 1982 at the request of the Ministry of Fisheries, Sri Lanka. A report was submitted to the Ministry soon after the trials.
