Improvement of Energy Audit Data Aquisition for Realtime Efficient Monitoring of Trawl Fishing Vessels

Abstract

Energy audit was proved as necessary activity to provide for fuel cost saving and decline environmental impact from carbon dioxide released from fishing vessels. Fuel consumption metering system is one important improvement for real-time monitoring on fishing vesseles. Fuel consumption data logger, CKPT-31, support all required parameters to operate fishing vessels at optimum conditions. And also to save fuel by reducing ship speed, this logger can show real-time accurate values of fuel consumption and GPS of fishing vessel that operator can use for making recent proper decision. The other than real-time fuel consumption data logger, water-in-fuel emulsion should be one of solution to decrease fuel cost and air pollution from diesel exhaust gas.
