Sažetak
In recent years, a high focus is set on achieving higher environmental friendliness of vessels through emission reduction and fuel consumption control. Fuel consumption is directly connected to the energy efficiency of a ship and is a crucial factor in analysing its environmental impact and choosing effective optimisation methods. The environmental impact and economic benefit are often calculated using different life-cycle methods, but the equations are mainly based on the estimated values of fuel consumption. Therefore, the results conceal an error, and the extent depends on the resolution of obtained data (daily, weekly, or yearly measurements). The error is especially emphasized when analysing fishing vessels, where the fuel usage is different in various operating modes, such as purse seining, trawling, idling etc. To overcome the mentioned difficulties, fuel monitoring devices are being installed onboard vessels to determine the exact fuel consumption and evaluate the energy efficiency of vessels. This type of research is conducted in the Croatian fishing fleet, on a research group consisting of several purse seiners and trawlers. The paper presents different monitoring devices installed on fishing vessels operating in the Adriatic Sea. The measurements gathered for a purse seiner are presented and discussed. The results are presented for a specific period, taking into account the travelling route. Thus, the paper shows that it is possible to analyse the fuel consumption according to operational modes characteristic of a purse seiner.
