Speed
kn
This is a very important data table which contains ship's fuel consumption with the different speeds. There are 11
different speeds available to define fuel consumption on those specific speeds. Prior to entering data in the form,
prepare the following graphic in order to find those 11 points.
Set 11 points on the graphic as explained above. Transfer those 11 points to the table in the chart radar. Use more
points where the curve bends more.
Example: 3.5 KN = 0.72 Ton / Hour HFO
Use the second graphic for diesel oil, if diesel oil consumption is relative to the speed.
