Time-Aware Validation of Machine Learning Fuel Consumption Models: Evidence from 1\,Hz Operational Data, CCGS \textit{Sir Wilfrid Laurier}
Ship fuel consumption (SFC) prediction supports vessel operation optimisation, emissions estimation, and decision support systems (DSS) for sustainable maritime transportation. Numerous data-driven fuel models have been developed over the past two decades, but a critical and often overlooked limitation lies in their va...
