THE SERVICE SPEED of 28.5 knots, can be maintained using only seven engines, thus allowing essential and routine maintenance to be carried out whilst at sea and without affecting schedules. At this speed a 35% fuel saving is made over the previous power plant, the fuel used being of the same grade - IF 380 (Bunker "C"). This fuel is heated under pressure to 140'C for injection, and is akin to road tar at room temperature.
