Armadora Pereira manages a fleet of 18 fishing vessels, operating in the Southern Atlantic (Namibia, Senegal, Falkland Islands, Argentina, etc.).

In December 2006, the company decided to start using the XBEE engine cleaner on two large vessels in its fleet: the M/T Argos Pereira and the M/T Argos Galicia.

By performing this experiment, Armadora Pereira wanted to evaluate the ability of XBEE technology to:

  • Reduce emissions of smoke, soot, and harmful gases;
  • Improve engine maintenance, and reduce fuel consumption.

All this was to be observed in real field conditions in a fishing area considered among the most difficult in the world.

M/V Argos Pereira:

Main engine → Deutz 358 / 3,000 Hp / 375 rpm
Aux. engines → 1x Volvo + 2x Deutz 528

M/V Argos Galicia:

Main engine → Mak 453 D / 2,500 Hp / 600 rpm
Aux. engines → Guascor

In December 2007, an examination of the cylinder heads of the main engines and the auxiliary engines of the Argos Galicia revealed that the XBEE Enzyme Fuel technology was beneficial in terms of both cleanliness and maintenance.

The company decided to expand the use to two other large vessels of the fleet, namely the Argos Vigo and the Puente Sabaris, with a plan for general use of XBEE throughout the whole fleet in 2008 and later.
