摘要

The present invention relates to a method for controlling fuel consumption of a ship having an engine and a variable pitch propeller in which the torque and engine speed are adjusted to correspond to output set point values. The adjustment is such that the engine is operated under operating conditions relating to the propeller pitch and engine speed of the variable pitch propeller such that the fuel consumption of the vessel is within the desired fuel consumption range and / or within the desired fuel consumption range.
