The ATR has 1 tonne less usefull load than a Q400.
Doesn't really matter as it doesn't burn as much as a Capesize freighter!

Carries 1 tonne less fuel at max load.
Once again, a difference in fuel burn of 400kg/hr will see this neutralised.

And does all this at a conservative 60 knots slower.
See above.
