Fuel consumption is approximately 810 litres/hour at maximum speed and drops significantly to 120 litres/hour at economical speed (including generator consumption). Endurance is further ensured by tankage totaling 16,500 litres of fuel and 5,000 litres of water, complemented by a Sea Recovery reverse osmosis watermaker producing 4,000 litres per day, with an additional 1,750 litres each dedicated to grey and black water.
