In my 6 years there (2002-2008) there was no "league table" in relation to extra fuel carried. There was a "league table" of fuel burned vs fuel planned on nav log (I.E fuel saved) This was done in a rather simplistic way which did not take account of many important variable factors, & of course the Base Capt was invariably in the Top 3

It was Horlocks, they knew it, we knew it, but. . . . Of course there may now be an "extra fuel" table, but there certainly wasn't in 08, merely "some" Base Capts who were particularly diligent at sifting through the voyage reports to find fault, including one who wanted to criticise those that ARRIVED with more than seemed normal (completely ignoring that these guys had probably really aced it with routings/levels/CDA etc etc )
