FS6-11.08 Nov 2008 Fuel additives

As part of an integrated research programme looking at improving fuel efficiency for fishing vessels Seafish has tested eight diesel fuel additives for red diesel to assess manufacturer’s claims that their use leads to a reduction in fuel consumption. The results of the work indicate that there were no discernible improvements in fuel economy when using diesel fuel additives under test cell conditions. Only one additive showed a saving of around 1%. The other seven additives showed no significant effect on the fuel consumption of the test engine through the test cycle used. If the results from the tests are typical of real duty cycles, then the use of additives would increase operating costs for fisherman as they would have to pay for the additive as well as for the fuel.

County Down Seafood

This report was produced by tourism specialists BTS, supported by fish industry experts Poseidon Consulting. It is a market based business plan, commissioned by the Strangford Lough and Lecale Partnership (SLLP), with funding from the EU and the South East Area Fisheries Local Action Group (SEAFLAG), to provide economic benefit to the South East Area which includes the fishing ports at Portavogie, Ardglass and Kilkeel. The analysis is designed to help develop the local market for locally caught seafood and local quality agricultural produce within Area. The project examines the opportunities for food tourism in the Strangford Lough and Mourne Mountains destinations, building on the concentration of the Northern Ireland fishing industry in the area, the quality of other local food produce and the number and the quality of local eating places across the area.
