Uporaba TDG-a na trgovačkim brodovima ima prednost u smislu troškova putovanja u kojima troškovi goriva imaju značajnu ulogu. Ipak, postoje posebne okolnosti pri kojima uporaba LDG-a postaje nužna i dovodi do povećanja ukupnih troškova. Takve okolnosti prepoznate su na primjeru dvaju brodova istog vlasnika koji posluju u sustavu jednog Pool -a, a koji su prema Pool-ovim normativnim tablicama prikazani kroz uporabu samo TDG-a. Na taj je način nastala razlika u troškovima koja bi prema propisanim pravilima između sudionika trebala teretiti samo vlasnika.
Uvažavajući podatke pronađene u dostupnim izvorima, naglašene su glavne karakteristike strojeva u kojima se izgara gorivo na oba broda, a u svezi korištenja LDG-a i prebacivanja između TDG-a i LDG-a (i obrnuto), te su istaknute i posebne okolnosti za svakog od njih postavljajući temelj za donošenje zaključnih stavova.
Nakon analize svih dostupnih podataka, kao i uvidom u stručnu literaturu sintetizirano je jednoznačno određenje za navedeni slučaj.
Zaključno je objašnjena nastala razlika u skladu s naputcima proizvođača i operativnim uvjetima brodova čime je ostvaren preduvjet prihvaćanja nužnosti priznavanja navedenih povećanih troškova od strane Pool-a.Using the HFO on board merchant ships has an advantage in terms of voyage expenses where fuel costs have an important role. However, there are special circumstances in which the use of MDO becomes necessity and leads to the increased total costs. Such circumstances are recognized on the example of two ships of the same owner who operate in the system of one Pool , and that the Pool\u27s normative tables are shown only through the use of HFO. In this way the result of the differences in costs that would be prescribed by the rules of the participants, should be charged only to the owner.
Taking into account the information found in available sources, the main characteristics of the machines in which the fuel burns on board both the ships were pointed out in relation to the usage of MDO and to the changing over from HFO to MDO (and vice versa), and thus highlighted the special circumstances for each of them, laying the foundation for the adoption of the concluding positions.
After analyzing all available data, and examining the professional literature a uniquely synthesized definition for the specified case is given.
Conclusive result is explained the difference in accordance with the manufacturer\u27s instructions and operating conditions of ships, which is made a precondition of accepting the necessity of recognition of these increased costs by Pool
