Start year 2007 End year 2008 Funding (€) € 210,092 Website https://www.wur.nl/en/Publication-details.htm?publicationId=publication-way-333737373138 Summary Project "Energy Saving in Fisheries" (ESIF) aimed at investigating potential technical and operational methods to address the need to reduce energy consumption and associated costs in European isheries. The study started with an inventory of potential technical solutions and ongoing projects in the participating member states. The economic performance of selected fleet segments was analysed with emphasis on the role of energy costs. This economic analysis considered aspects such as: break4even fuel price, factors determining energy efficiency, the economic potential for technological improvement and scenarios for future outlook related to possible development of fuel price. Finally, the economic feasibility of proposed technological adaptations was assessed.
