Fast Ferry Benefits
Slow + Extra = Loss
In the deep sea sector, reductions in vessel
speeds to cope with increases in oil prices
have become a way of life. A wise move,
or is it
In many cases speed has been reduced
so much that in order to hold schedules in
prime markets, carriers have added tonnage
to their services. Any saving in fuel dollars is
rapidly consumed by the additional costs of
introducing extra ships to compensate for
their slow running fleetmates.
