Influence of ship routes on fuel consumption and CO2 emission

The influence of various parameters, such as ship heading angle and weather conditions on ship fuel consumption and CO2 emission is presented. A reliable methodology for estimating the attainable speed in different sea states is described. Correlation of speed loss with sea states allows predictions of propulsive performance in actual seas. If the computation is used for weather routing purposes, values for various ship speed and heading for each realistic sea‐state is provided. To illustrate the presented concept, the ship speed and CO2 emissions in various routes of the Atlantic Ocean are calculated using representative environmental design data for the track of the routes where the ship will sail. The analysis has been done for various ship heading angles. The voluntary speed loss is taken into account. The influence of the ship speed loss on various parameters such as fuel consumption and emissions is presented.
