What percentage of fossil fuels consumption is fuel for shipping of fossil fuels?
- thesimp 5y agoUsing the below url as a guide the fuel consumption per amount of fuel transported is actually very economical. Deadweight: 442,470dwt, Lightweight: 67,000t = 375,470t of cargo. Fuel usage 141t per day. With a 15 day trip that would mean using 2,115t of fuel to get 375,470t of crude to its destination. https://www.wartsila.com/encyclopedia/term/ultra-large-crude-carrier-hellespont-alhambra https://www.wartsila.com/encyclopedia/term/ultra-large-crude...
