The accurate prediction of the required propulsion power at various operating condition is essential to evaluate the energy-saving potential of a vessel. Currently, a new ship is expected to use the ISO15016 method in estimating added resistance induced by external environmental factors in power prediction. However, since ISO15016 usually assumes static water conditions, it may result in low accuracy when it is applied to various operating conditions. Moreover, it is time consuming to apply the ISO15016 method because it is computationally expensive and requires many input data. To overcome this limitation, we propose a data-driven approach to predict the propulsion power of a vessel. In this study, support vector regression (SVR) is used to learn from big data obtained from onboard measurement and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) database. As a result, we show that our data-driven approach shows superior performance compared to the ISO15016 method if the big data of the solid line are secured.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20061588","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]],"date-time":"2020-03-12T12:22:51Z","timestamp":1584015771000},"page":"1588","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Data-Driven Prediction of Vessel Propulsion Power Using Support Vector Regression with Onboard Measurement and Ocean Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Donghyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute, Busan 49111, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sangbong","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lab021, Busan 48508, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jihwan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Systems Management and Engineering, Pukyong National University, Busan 48513, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"UNCTAD (2020, February 03).
