Normand Drott once again won the quarterly SGO contest 1st Quarter of 2011

For the 3rd time, we congratulate the crew on N. Drott on their award (NOK 5,000) to their welfare fund. Thanks again to all of you onboard who participated!

To further encourage all to register SGO's, we will from Q2 2011 start awarding the crew on the 3 best vessels with our brand new SGO T-shirt! This award comes in addition to the 5,000 NOK for the number one vessel.

The Q1 fleet result shows a record high number of SGO’s registered this quarter. A total of 2,229 fuel reducing operations has been registered. The reported estimated fuel saving was 7,039 m3 which equals a fuel saving of 16.5% of the total fleet fuel consumption.

The average fuel consumption used per vessel per day is now close to 10.5 m3 whereas before the campaign was launched the corresponding consumption was about 13.2 m3 per vessel.  This is a considerable improvement! It will be interesting to see if this number increases as the activity is expected to be high this summer.
