| | # Dataset for the **FuelCast Benchmark - Benchmarking Tabular and Temporal Models for Ship Fuel Consumption** |
| |
|
| | The related paper is available as a preprint on ArXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.08217 |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset |
| |
|
| | The dataset was created using three main sources: |
| | - High frequency auto logger data of important parameters from the ship, recorded by the [KROHNE EcoMATE™ system](https://www.krohne.com/en-us/solutions/monitoring-solutions/ecomate-fuel-emission-monitoring-seagoing-vessels). |
| | - Environment data from [Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service](https://marine.copernicus.eu/) |
| | - Weather hintcast data from [OpenMeteo](https://open-meteo.com/) |

| |
|
| | ## Tasks |
| |
|
| | ### Fuel Consumption Prediction |
| |
|
| | The main task of the FuelCast Benchmark is to predict (or better simulate) the total fuel consumption of a ship |
| | under arbitrary operational and environmental conditions. |
