Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between bunker fuel consumption and the speed of container ships. Although there are different models existing in the literature and in the industry, they do not always seem to match the actual maritime conditions. The existing models work well in middle speed levels, but they fail at the low- and high-speed ends unless the parameters in the exponent of the function are changed. Besides the problem of missing a general formulation, the parameters seem to change with speed. Therefore, in this paper a new approach is introduced to illustrate the dependance between bunker fuel consumption and speed, and it is tested by formulating the exponent of the function variable. Stochastic criteria are used to compare the new generalized model with common models using real operating data.

一种计算船用燃油速度-消耗关系的新模型

摘要 本文研究了燃料油耗与集装箱船航速的关系。尽管在文献和行业中存在不同的模型，但它们似乎并不总是与实际的海事条件相匹配。现有模型在中速级别运行良好，但它们在低速和高速端失败，除非更改函数指数中的参数。除了缺少通用公式的问题外，参数似乎随速度变化。因此，本文引入了一种新的方法来说明燃油消耗与速度之间的相关性，并通过公式化函数变量的指数进行测试。随机标准用于将新的广义模型与使用真实操作数据的常见模型进行比较。
