Improved Fuel Consumption Estimation for Sailing Speed Optimization: Eliminating Log Transformation Bias

Sailing Speed Optimization (SSO) is a crucial problem in shipping operations management, aiming to reduce both operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions. The ship’s sailing speed directly impacts fuel consumption, where fuel consumption is generally assumed to follow a power function with respect...
