“…Using the back-propagation artificial neural In addition, with the rapid development of information technology and sensor technology, real-time monitoring of fuel consumption for ships has become possible with onboard data collection and data analysis being widely exploited for research. Based on a container ship, Barro developed an energy efficiency information monitoring system (EDiMS), which can monitor the engine's performance data and GHG emissions (Barro et al 2010). Also, based on an inland river cruise ship, Fan developed a real-time data collection system and explored the environmental impact on ship energy efficiency (Fan et al 2016;).…”

Energy efficiency management is becoming increasingly important in the trend towards decarbonisation and intelligentisation of future ships. Establishing a verified energy efficiency model is essential in realising reliable assessment of various energy efficiency strategies. Based on a 53,000-tonne bulk carrier, modelling and verification of a ship's energy efficiency with consideration of multiple factors is carried out. First, the existing ship's energy efficiency regulation and its evaluation methods are introduced. Second, the onboard data collection system is introduced with the features of the measured data detailed. A ship energy efficiency model is developed from four main aspects, namely ship energy efficiency operational indicator, ship fuel consumption, ship main engine power, and ship resistance characteristics. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation method and utilizing Matlab/Simulink, the energy efficiency model for the selected ship is simulated and measured fuel consumption data is used to verify the model. Finally, the simulation results are presented and discussed. The research results show that the devised model provides good enough accuracy to simulate ship energy efficiency with consideration to cargo loading, ship speed and the random impact of multiple natural environmental parameters. This study not only helps the ship manager assess the projected energy efficiency, but can also provide decision support for the optimisation of ship energy efficiency.
