Green peace realy has hit hard on this ship, but id like to say that while at sea this container ship as well as the majority of ships at sea dont acctualy consume that much diesel and 95% of the diesel consumed is used on lighting and other electircal systems on the ship.
Dart 8 had two engines she could carry 3,500 tonne of fuel she did portsmouth to the gulf and back without the need to refuel this is simply because she consumed less fuel than the average diesel car. Alot of ships now use special shafts which help cut down on fuel, i wouldnt hesitate to say that the emma maersk could do one entire trip denmark britain italy india singapore on one tank, the OOCL Shenzen holds the record of 11,712NM on one tank.
