Abstract

According to the ship’s and her engine technical data, economical modes of the ship’s power plant operation with the main engine of 6S50 MC-C are considered. A mathematical modeling of the ship’s optimal commercial speed has been carried out. Minimum of the operational expenses for a voyage was chosen as the criterion of the optimization. Attention was paid to specific fuel consumption and constant general ship’s expenditures. Analytical expressions of parameters used for the optimization have been obtained. Dependences are illustrated by graphs.
