How does a Diesel become 50% fuel efficient?

How does a diesel engine get up to 50% fuel efficiency? I understand that this is common on large marine engines, where as a standard diesel like we use is typically 35-40%.

I have recently worked out the fuel efficiency from published figures of a modern 120 HP `green tractor and despite comparatively good figures it was still only doing 36.5% at best, Yet in the UK this tractor range is heavily marketed as being very fuel efficient?
