Optimizing ship performance is today an urgent need both to reduce fleet operating costs and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how weather conditions can affect fuel consumption on ships and to what extent. More precisely, the aim of the present study is to investigate the correlations between the various factors affecting the energy efficiency of ships, both through the description of the theoretical background and through a practical analysis of a set of data derived from the actual operation of a fleet of two tankers. Such an analysis can be incorporated into the energy management systems of businesses with ships of a similar size, as it can assist ship operators in determining the best course of action for enhancing the vessel's operational performance and fuel efficiency while also lowering emissions of pollutants, which will lower operating costs for the shipping company.
