kickingfrog Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just saw a show "Mighty Ships" featuring Jumbo Fairplayer a heavy-lift mega ship. It gets 6 meters per litre of fuel. Yes, 6 metres (roughly 19ft) per litre of fuel. I believe that is 16666Litres per 100km, or 0.01411 mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Don't know about that, but the fuel they use was described as one step up from asphalt and needs to be heated to enable it to flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Crazy...fueled with pitch. I'm guessing no fuel filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Far as I know they are actually 2 stoke diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It doesn't appear to be that big a ship. According the GM, fuel mileage may vary... Its current destination is MOSSELBAAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 A co worker fired up a boiler at a pulp mill last week. I'm pretty sure he told that it burns 6 litres of fuel (some type of oil) per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
