During the first day, the main systems were tested. Before the cast off, the crew checked on the mooring equipment such as bollards, capstans, windlasses, and hull pipes. Both engines ran at different loads with the main goal being to measure the fuel consumption. We have learned that at a maximum 1,925/1,905 RPM, the PORT side engine consumed 58.9 GPH and the STBD engine consumed 58.9 GPH. With the displacement of more than 500 metric tons and maximum speed 15 knots, Bering 145 appears to be a very economical boat.
