Fuel consumption figures depend to some extent on the ship and speed. Just a like a car. You can put the same engine in a compact car or in an SUV, and fuel consumption will change a lot (weight, aerodynamics etc.) Similar for ships.

Our fleet of barges comes in a variety of sizes and specifications. They are available for long or short-term charter, can be transported to and from your location and be equipped to meet your specific needs. Our boats have been used for marine construction, salvage, equipment transportation, fireworks shows, coring and sampling, artificial reef building and many other specialized projects.
Pile-driving, hook work, foundation-drilling and many other marine construction operations are put on a solid footing through the use of economical Flexifloat Self-Elevating Platforms (SEPs).
Highly-portable, these modular “jack-up” barges provide stable work platforms which effectively eliminate construction downtime due to waves, current and tidal action. here
