WOW, this picture gives an entirely different perspective. Look at the ships proximity to land, it's practically on the shore. They should never...
Generally they use diesel when in ports and maneuvering. Offshore they use bunker fuel which typically has to be heated to around 200 degrees F...

The 40' Cabo zues, burns 43-45GPH at 80% load for both 600hp Cummins QSM's, or 21.5-22.5 GPH per engine. It burned 65.5 gph for both at 3050rpms...
I think it can be refloated, it's in shallow water and quite easy to access via divers and such. Many of the plates could be temporarily patched...

Kha Shings are usually pretty sturdily built yachts, however they are not going to win any speed contests. A friend of mine ran a 65' for years...

He sold the vessel alright, to the insurance company!
I'm very familiar with the larger Hatteras' and Detroits. You'll burn right around 15 gph for both engines at 1000rpms. I'd run the engines up...
