The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has come under heavy criticism by operators over illegal import of adulterated petroleum products by importers at the popular Ibafon petroleum jetty in Lagos.

Ahorrar combustible, tanto en la mar como en puerto, es una de los objetivos de los armadores, pero no es fácil.

 

Son muchos los factores que afectan al consumo durante la navegación: corrientes, estado de la mar, la fuerza y la dirección del viento, el calado, asiento, formas del casco, tersura de la superficie de deslizamiento, hélice/s, etc. La empresa finlandesa Eniram, cofundada por Pyörre en 2005 se ha especializado precisamente en el campo del ahorro de combustible.
