Fuel consumption & fuel cost for different vessel types and Member States Key message It is difficult to compare the use of fuel between the different fleets in different Member States without a very detailed analysis. Generally, as expected, mobile gears have larger fuel consumption and fuel costs compared to passive gears. Also vessels catching high amounts of low value species, have low fuel costs per landed kilo, but the same fuel costs per landed value as similar vessels catching low amounts of high value species.
