The 'GESTOIL' system is an economic, easy-to-operate piece of technology, and when actively used it enables significant fuel savings to be made. With this tool the skipper can from the bridge of the vessel see fuel consumption displayed instantly; this puts him in a position to be able to optimize it depending on the sailing conditions at each moment. The proactive use of this system can achieve savings of up to 25% in troll fishing, about 10% in purse-seine vessels, and between 2% and 9% in trawling.
