    Hello
    I'm trying to write out the difference in costs when a Contr vsl of stated size is sailing in 20 knots on HIgh seas as against it being alongside during discharging / loading operations.
    What i need to know is what type of fuel is burned in both cases & how much of each on a daily average basis.
    Thanks
