Modern container ships have adopted slow steaming to save on fuel. The lowered speed from the standard 25 knots to 20 knots are at 14 MPH.

Is fuel consumption for bulk carriers same as for container ships?

Fuel consumption is dependant on the power required to operate the ship. This is a function of the vessels design speed and resistance or drag. A container vessel travels at much higher speeds than a bulk carrier and since an increase in speed will lead to a cubed increase in fuel consumption, it takes a lot more fuel to travel at this higher speed. However, the drag of a bulk carrier is much higher than that of a container vessel of the same dimensions since the container vessel has much finer lines under water. Basically, if the two vessels are travelling at the same speed then the container vessel will consume less fuel but since containers vessels are suppposed to travel at twice the speed of a bulk carrier. the bulk carrier in practice consumes less fuel providing the two ships are the same size,
