Fuel range rings
The fuel range ring gives an estimated range that
can be reached with the estimated fuel remaining
on-board.
The fuel range ring can be displayed graphically in
the chart application and indicates an estimated
range that can be reached with the:
• Current rate of fuel consumption.
• Estimated fuel remaining on-board.
• Course remaining in a straight line.
• Current speed maintained.
Note:
The fuel range ring is an estimated range that can
be reached at the current rate of fuel consumption,
of the fuel onboard and based on a number of
external factors which could either extend or
shorten the projected range.
This estimate is based on data received from
external fuel management devices, or via the Fuel
Manager. It does not take into account prevailing
conditions such as tide, current, sea state, wind
etc.
You should not rely on the fuel range ring feature
for accurate voyage planning or in emergency and
safety critical situations.
