Abstract
This paper analyzes the case of an oil tanker vessel, class Panamax, belonging to Petrobras Transporte S.A. fleet, observing the fuel oil consumption of the main engine, before and after hull treatment. Investigations were conducted based on main engine performance, daily report of fuel oil consumption and energy efficiency regulations and guidance, in order to calculate the ship emission. The main results show that the treatment of the hull provides a significant reduction on the consumption of fuel oil, thus reducing the ship emission. The research also identifies the financial savings resulting from cleaning and painting of the hull.
