To achieve energy saving on existing fishing vessels a methodological approach is necessary. First of all, it is necessary to define the energy profile of the vessel. Once the energy profile is defined it is possible to state how energy (and the fuel) is used and heavy energy users can be identified. For these energy users' technological improvements can be discussed and solution proposed; these solutions must be evaluated also from an economical point of view with a business plan, taking into account economical savings and investment costs. The main goal of the project is to assess an Fuel profile classification method for fishing vessels. The Fuel profile is defined using two Fuel performance indicators. With these indicators it is possible to evaluate future improvements on the Fuel usage. The first indicator, named ECI ([kJ/(kW x kn)]), which is the overall Fuel used standardized for the gross tonnage and the speed. The second is a fuel consumption indicator, named FCI ([l/(h x kW x kn)]), which is the fuel consumption standardized for the gross tonnage and the speed. Fuel performance indicators, ECI and FCI, are defined both for steaming and trawling phases.
