Maritime transport faces new safety-related challenges resulting from constantly increasing
traffic density, along with increasing dimensions of ships. Consequently, the number of new …

Route optimization methods offer an opportunity to the fisheries industry to enhance their
efficiency, sustainability, and safety. However, the use of route optimization Decision …

For safe and efficient exploitation of ice-covered waters, knowledge about ship performance
in ice is crucial. The literature describes numerical and semi-empirical models that …

Offshore development and growing prospects of commercial shipping in the Arctic pose the
challenge of optimal ship routing in ice. Route selection in spatially distributed ice conditions …

Shipping activities in the Northern Sea Route (NSR) are increasing. However, due to the
complex sea ice conditions, ships still need assistance of icebreakers when sailing through …

Safety for conventional and autonomous navigation in ice-covered waters is a topic of rising
importance. Here, we propose a generic extendable framework to provide the optimal route …

Most vessels cannot safely sail in areas with sea ice. In the Northern Baltic Sea area, the
presence of sea ice often requires icebreaking ships to open up ice-covered areas so …

The increasing shipping activities in the Arctic area pose challenges to a ship's safety and
fuel saving in ice-covered waters. The optimal ship route planning can reduce the fuel …

Route planning in maritime transportation is the key to safe, efficient, and smart navigation.
We propose a multi-criteria route planning technique for operators to objectively determine …

The paper suggests a three-dimensional graph model for a spatio-temporal representation
of a water area with drifting ice objects. The article considers multi-objective route …
