A microcomputer-based program has been developed at the University of British Columbia to help fisherman and naval architects estimate fishing vessel fuel consumption. The program allows users to calculate the fuel consumption for a given fishing trip scenario. The program can then be used to calculate the return on investment of fuel saving improvements made to the vessel such as: Kort nozzle, two speed gearbox, variable-pitch propeller, and new propeller design. The program can be used for the design of small vessels such as tugs and supply vessels.
