Abstract
A method for controlling a propulsion operation of a propulsion unit to reach a desired speed of a marine vessel. The method comprises obtaining a target speed configuration indicating the desired speed of the marine vessel, obtaining a current speed value associated with a current speed of the marine vessel, obtaining a fill level value associated with a fill level of one or more ballast tanks of the marine vessel, and controlling the propulsion operation of the propulsion unit to reach the desired speed based on the target speed configuration, the current speed value, and on the fill level value.
