To address the challenges of energy conservation and emission reduction in the shipping industry, this study proposes an innovative scheduling strategy for the ship integrated energy system (SIES) based on data-driven fuel consumption prediction and multi-objective optimization. A multi-feature dual-time scale Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is developed, integrating Automatic Identification System (AIS) data with an average resolution of 6 min, meteorological conditions, and vessel state parameters, achieving fuel consumption prediction across dual time scales. The model outperforms other machine learning models (e.g., CNN, XGBoost) in terms of R2, MAE, RMSE, and SMAPE. Dynamic simulation of annual cooling, heating, and power loads for crew accommodation areas, based on spatiotemporally matched customized meteorological data, reveals that the annual load is dominated by cooling demand, with significant seasonal fluctuations; summer loads are higher and more volatile than winter loads. A hybrid energy system integrating photovoltaic (PV) generation, energy storage, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and diesel engines is constructed. By treating the CCS load as a adjustable resource, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) is employed to solve the environmental–economic multi-objective optimization problem, simultaneously minimizing carbon emissions and present value of the total cost (PVC). Case studies conducted on a 79,970 DWT bulk carrier (Guangzhou–Qinhuangdao route) demonstrate the strategy’s effectiveness. The synergistic operation of solar energy and the energy storage system facilitates carbon emission reductions of 23.6% to 40.0% through fuel savings; during summer with abundant solar resources, over 95% of the CCS load can be covered. Economic analysis indicates that fuel savings from renewable energy can recover the investment in the PV and battery storage system within approximately 6 years. This integrated data-driven energy management framework mitigates CCS-induced parasitic loads and emissions, partially resolving the “carbon emissions vs. cost” dilemma, and provides a viable pathway for decarbonizing conventional diesel-powered ships, contributing to sustainable maritime operations.
