In the operation of small commercial vessels and in fishery management businesses, the proportion of fuel expenses among all costs is high and fuel expenses are increasing every year. There is a significant need for energy saving measures.
To offer an efficient operation mode that is effective in reducing fuel consumption, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger, Ltd. (MHIET) developed a device for small vessels and fishing boats which, in the same way as devices developed for automobiles in recent years, displays the actual state of fuel consumption and average fuel efficiency in real time and allows vessel operators to conduct efficient energy saving operations at the optimum speed, contributing to the fuel-efficient operation of small vessels.
