A Machine Learning Ship's Speed Prediction Model and Sailing Time Control Strategy
Paper in proceeding, 2022

This paper proposes a machine learning based ship speed over ground prediction model, driven by the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. The dataset is acquired from a world-sailing chemical tanker with five years of full-scale measurements. The model is trained using encountered metocean environments and ship operation profiles in two scenarios, i.e., through RPM or propulsion power. This model is further combined with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to integrate a sailing time control method. It optimizes constant RPM or power operation strategy to meet the requirements of fixed ETA.
