This study is a review of the effect of ship speed on ship fuel consumption. Paper used as literature in this study is a collection of papers from 2000-2017 that discusses the relationship between speed with fuel consumption. There are several methods that using the ship speed as the main parameter to decrease the fuel consumption of the ship.
