Ship weather routing has seen considerably increasing attention in recent years in both
academia and industry. Problems in this area consider finding the optimal path and sailing …

Abstract As Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC) constitutes over 25% of a vessel's overall operating
cost, its accurate forecasting, and the reliable prediction of the relevant ship operating …

During the voyage, predicting fuel consumption of ships under different sea-states and
weather conditions has been a challenging and far-reaching topic, because there are a …

Maritime industry is the artery of the global economy since it carries around 90% of the
volume of global trade. However, the fierce environmental problems associated with human …

We develop a flexible framework for the estimation of the fuel consumption-speed curve for
ships which allows for speed-dependent elasticity with endogenous thresholds. Using a …

Ship voyage optimization provides key theoretical and technical insights for efficient
ship** operations. It is critical for develo** methodologies and systems that bridge the …

This paper investigates the impact of periodic hull cleaning on oil tankers' energy efficiency
using real 2012–2016 fleet performance and weather data extracted from noon reports for a …

In the daily operations of a ship** line, minimization of a ship's bunker fuel consumption
over a voyage comprising a series of waypoints by adjusting its sailing speeds and trim …
