- Maretron digital fuel-flow monitoring system with digital tachometer for both main and auxilliary engines. Provides fuel efficiency and management information in real-time.
- F/V Harmony Isle installed this equipment as part of the fuel efficiency research program sponsored by the Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association (ALFA) and Alaska Sea Grant; see: http://www.alfafish.org/fuel-efficiency
- For equipment specifications see: https://www.maretron.com/products.php
- ALFA has helped Southeast Alaska fishermen to install fuel flow meters and data loggers to collect data collected to build a fuel efficiency audit and make recommendations for improving fuel efficiency. This work was carried out in partnership with the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Alaris Company marine engineers, and individual vessel operators, with support from the Oak Foundation.
