Abstract: A method, computer program and system for optimizing the usage of energy sources on ships is disclosed. The method involves creating a computer simulation model of a ship, optimized for fuel efficiency. Creating the computer simulation model involves selecting equations from a pool of equations, describing core components and structural features of a ship, and data from a pool of characteristic data for ship's core components and structures. Moreover, a method, computer program, and system for optimizing fuel efficiency of ships by the use of a computer simulation model is disclosed.
