FUEL SAVINGS WITH SCAMP HULL CLEANINGS

Highlights of a comprehensive study conducted by a major oil company as part of a program of energy conservation. The object was to quantify savings that could be achieved through routine use of SCAMP hull cleanings. The study considered 21,000, 50,000 and 250,000 DWT vessels with savings of $31,000 to $38,000-$127,000 to $185,000 and $144,000 to $228,000 respectively. The range in savings was due to the fact that each vessel class was operated at four different sea speeds for test purposes.
