How many gallons of fuel does a cruise ship hold. A large cruise ship ranging in length from 900 to 1100 feet might hold 1 to 2 million gallons of fuel. Last year the bunker fuel we use cost about 300 per ton. 860 imp gal per engine per hour for the 12-cylinder engines.

For comparison a 20 gallon gas tank found in most passenger vehicles would be only enough to power the ship for just 25 seconds. Records state that it can hold up to 56655 barrels. Larger ships need more fuel to move through the water.

A single barrel is equal to 42 gallons. My ship burns about 1200 tons of fuel every 7 day cruise. The average price for a litre of diesel to fill up your car at least according to a quick Google search is 133 I dont drive so dont quote me on that.

We carry around 3000 passengers every week. Ships gas mileage varies depending on the type and size of ship the number of passengers on board and other factors. How much does a gallon of cruise ship fuel weigh.

Given that most cruise ships travel at 21 to 24 knots this isnt often an issue. Bassed on their 80000 gallon quote this would give them a cruising range of between 450 miles and 900 miles a day so no I dont go for the 3060 feet idea. The Boeing 747-400 seats 624 cruises at 567 mph and has a range of 8357 miles.
