Abstract
A marine vessel fuel control system may comprise an interface to receive data identifying the vessel and data identifying a voyage to be undertaken by the vessel. The control system may also comprise a memory to store program code to implement a predictive model and parameter values for the model, the values resulting from an optimisation of the model using historical data for marine vessels and voyages. The control system may also comprise a processor arranged to execute the program code to: instantiate the model using the values; supply the data identifying the vessel and the data identifying the voyage to be undertaken to the model; and apply the model to determine a fuel consumption estimate for the vessel for the voyage. A fuel supply system determines an amount of fuel to be supplied to at least one fuel tank of the vessel based on the fuel consumption estimate.
