Case Study: Leading Low Fuel Consumption Service Provider achieves Reliability, Good Power and Low Fuel Consumption with Cummins

Leading Low Fuel Consumption Service Provider - Customer Case Study

Leading Low Fuel Consumption Service Provider, represented by fisherman Gustavo Galeano and his vessel Don Franco, needed a reliable main engine that could provide strong towing power while keeping fuel use low. As fuel costs can significantly reduce returns on the catch, the challenge was finding a balance between performance, economy, and dependable operation at sea.

Cummins supplied the Don Franco with a 600-HP KTA19 main engine, along with 6CTA and B48T auxiliary engines. The result was a vessel that delivered strong performance, high power relative to fuel consumption, and excellent reliability; the owner reported the boat “works very well” with no problems, helping keep it ready to fish whenever conditions allow.
