Vettor, R. e Guedes Soares, C. (2015), “A Ship Weather Routing Tool to Face the Challenges of an Evolving Maritime Trade”, RIN International Navigation Conference 2015 (RIN-INC 2015), 24-26 February, Manchester, UK
A ship route optimization system aimed to face the challenges of a more demanding maritime trade is here presented. The paper highlights the key role of a weather routing system in the current ocean navigation. The steps to follow in the development of an efficient and trustable weather routing tool are explained with special attention to some important features that are sometimes neglected. In particular it is suggested how the ship operators needs should drive the implementation of the code to aim for a tailor-made equipment where the shipmaster can put his confidence. The progresses made in the development of such a tool are also described.
