Fuel consumption generally increases with speed due to greater hydrodynamic resistance. While the exact relationship can vary based on the vessel's design, a common rule of thumb is that fuel consumption increases by the cube of the speed ratio. Therefore, if the vessel burns 8 tons per hour at 15 knots, it could burn approximately 10 tons per hour at 18 knots, depending on specific factors. For precise calculations, a vessel's fuel consumption curve would be needed.
