The Seafish Guide to improving Fuel Efficiency

The high cost of fuel is having a dramatic effect on the profitability of many sectors of the UK fishing fleet. Since 2004, the fuel price for fishing vessels has risen from 15p* per litre to more than 56p* a litre in mid 2008 – an increase of almost four times the price (Figure 1). This has left some sectors of the fishing industry struggling to maintain profitability. Seafish is working with Government organisations throughout the UK to provide expert advice - both economic and technical - to mitigate high fuel costs. It is also offering bespoke advice to catchers and vessel owners on fuel efficiency, covering all aspects of their gear and vessel performance. This guide gives a brief overview of eight key areas where significant cost reductions or improvements to efficiency can be made, in conjunction with assistance from Seafish.
