G & G Shipping
	DEFINITION: The CerMet test was conducted on the G & G Shipping vessel "Bahama Ranger" Engines: 2 x Catepilar 3412 Turbo, 2  gearboxes. The oil capacities for these engines were 36 gallons each, and the oil capacities for the gearboxes were 7 gallons each. Engine wear: The vessel was burning through  12 gallons of oil per day.
Decrease in Oil Consumption: 42% Est. Increase in Power: 18% Decrease in Fuel Consumption: 15% Decrease in Travel Time: 8% Part Protection Lifespan: 2000 Hrs. Total Monetary Savings Per Year: $68,400 Est, Savings across entire fleet: $820K

Detroit Diesel	Decrease in Oil Consumption: 48% Est. Increase in Power: 15% Decrease in Fuel Consumption: 9.5% Reduction in Engine Heat: 25% Part Protection Lifespan: 2000 Hrs. Total Monetary Savings Per Year: $16,667 Est, Savings across entire fleet: $700K
DEFINITION: The CerMet test was conducted on the Tugboat Jerry Jared utilizing 2 (two) Detroit Diesel Engines and 2 (two) gearboxes. The oil capacities for these engines were 400 gallons (including reserves), and the oil capacities for the gearboxes were 70 gallons. Engine wear: The vessel was burning through 28 (twenty-eight) gallons of oil per day and was about to enter dry-dock for engine maintenance.	PROCEDURE: The Jerry Jared's engines and gearboxes were treated with CerMet while at the dock between shipments. The entire initial procedure took about fifteen minutes. 240 ml. of CerMet was applied to each engine (by adding to the oil), treating 45 gallons of oil each in total, taking into consideration some loss of CerMet through current engine oil loss calculations. The vessel sailed at normal inter­vals, carrying similar loads, and running at normal speeds for over 720 hours allowing CerMet to completely work throughout the engine and gearbox. Other Benefits Less Oil Blow-by Better Compression Less Harmful Emissions Less Noise & Vibration Easier Starts Longer Lasting Parts
RESULTS & ANALYSIS: Base Line data was collected for two months prior to the CerMet test, then the engines and gearboxes were treated and run for approximately 30 (thirty) days. After treatment data was then carefully collected, compared and analyzed. Our efforts concentrated on comparing "like" voyages, engine runs and loads. We are always conscious of external conditions and variables that may have an effect on any test outcome and we may mathematically adjust for these anomalies accordingly. The Jerry Jared tugboat was burning approximately 28 gallons of oil per day. Soon after the CerMet treatment, the vessel showed a reduc­tion in oil consumption, now burning only 15 gallons per day,  savings of 48%. To explain: CerMet has not only cleaned the cylinder walls, piston rings, bearings and other engine parts of oxidation and corrosion, but has begun to repair the surface and build the new ceramic-metal layer. One major noticeable change was the decrease in engine heat by 25%. RECOMMENDATION: The Jerry Jared tugboat would benefit from another CerMet treatment to continue to reduce the massive daily oil consumption. Once the oil consumption is under control additional benefits will appear with additional improved fuel economy, extended part life, and reduction in downtime for engine repair. With these estimates and extrapolating across Marquette Transportation's entire fleet we believe the overall company savings could conservatively be over $700,000, a return on investment 6:1.
