About
Operational data representing key metrics for various ship types, synthetically generated to be realistic. This data is designed for professionals and enthusiasts in maritime data analytics and machine learning to explore clustering, prediction, and optimisation challenges within the shipping industry. The purpose is to offer a platform for uncovering trends in ship performance, identifying patterns, and applying data-driven methods to solve real-world maritime problems, ultimately aiming to improve decision-making, enhance fuel efficiency, and reduce environmental impact.
Columns
- Date: The timestamp of the data entry.
- Ship_Type: The type of vessel (e.g., Tanker, Container Ship, Fish Carrier, Bulk Carrier).
- Route_Type: The classification of the shipping route (e.g., Short-haul, Long-haul, Transoceanic).
- Engine_Type: The type of propulsion engine used by the ship (e.g., Diesel, Heavy Fuel Oil).
- Maintenance_Status: The current maintenance condition of the vessel (e.g., Fair, Critical, Good).
- Speed_Over_Ground_knots: The average speed of the vessel over water, measured in knots.
- Engine_Power_kW: The engine's power output, measured in kilowatts.
- Distance_Traveled_nm: The total distance covered by the vessel, measured in nautical miles.
- Draft_meters: The draft of the vessel, measured in metres.
- Weather_Condition: The prevailing weather conditions during a voyage (e.g., Calm, Moderate, Rough).
- Cargo_Weight_tons: The weight of the cargo, measured in tons.
- Operational_Cost_USD: The total operational cost for each voyage, in US Dollars.
- Revenue_per_Voyage_USD: The revenue generated from each voyage, in US Dollars.
- Turnaround_Time_hours: The time taken for the vessel to turnaround, measured in hours.
- Efficiency_nm_per_kWh: A measure of energy efficiency, calculated as nautical miles per kilowatt-hour.
- Seasonal_Impact_Score: A score indicating the impact of seasonal factors.
- Weekly_Voyage_Count: The number of voyages completed in a week.
- Average_Load_Percentage: The average cargo load as a percentage of capacity.
