This graph shows fuel consumption in miles per ton for voyages 83 to 107
- First Period: Voyages 83-87 were used
as a baseline
- Second Period: Voyages 89-97 showed a 9.1% improvement in fuel
economy
- Third Period: Voyages 98-105 showed a decrease in fuel economy
without Green Plus
- Fourth Period: Voyages 106-107 showed a 6.6% improvement in fuel
economy with Green Plus back in the fuel
The improvements shown in the Arafura are seen despite a route change and an average increase in operating speed in the third and fourth periods
