27.1.6 Optimization parameters setting
The optimization parameters are used in optimization calculation. Therefore these parameters must be defined
before calculation.
In order to modify optimization parameters, do the following:
1. Spin the scrollwheel to show Menu/Info/Chart
Menu in the mouse functions area then push the left
mouse button.
2. Select Initial Settings and push the scrollwheel.
3. Put the cursor on the triangle in the Initial Settings

HFO: Heavy fuel oil, DO: Diesel oil
Note 2: It is not necessary to enter leading zero ("0").
Speed
kn
This is a very important data table that contains ship's fuel consumption with the different speeds. There are 11
different speeds available to define fuel consumption on those specific speeds. Prior to entering data in the form,
prepare the following graphic in order to find those 11 points.
Set 11 points on the graphic as explained above. Transfer those 11 points to the table in the ECDIS. Use more points
where the curve bends more.
Example: 3.5 KN = 0.72 Ton / Hour HFO
Use the second graphic for diesel oil, if diesel oil consumption is relative to the speed.
