TI  - A New Method for Calculating Fuel Consumption by Using Speed Loss Function
AB  - The most important factor affecting fuel consumption is the speed of service. There are many formulas that give the relationshipbetween service speed and fuel consumption. These formulas ignore the weight of the load on the ship or the wind speed. Forexample, Beaufort numbers and Aertssen numbers are neglected. This neglect makes it difficult to predict the amount of fuel that theship will consume on the road at each departure. For example, a trip against wind resistance will increase the margin of error ofestimated fuel consumption. Although this error does not cause major changes, it will affect the ship's total fuel consumption in thelong period. This period can also effect cost of the shipping companies. In this study, the formula which does not neglect the windspeed and load weight is put forward and fuel consumption is modelled with this formula. In addition, results of this methods andclassic calculation are compared. Nevertheless, hotelling and maneuvering of the ship are neglected while calculating.
