As part of an environmental efficiency drive, Lemissoler has adopted a unique hull design for the new vessels, fitted them with fuel-efficient propellers and coated the undersides with Dynamic. According to the design specification, fuel consumption was calculated at 24.7 metric tons per day at 14.2 knots in ballast condition.
