Adaptive Weather Routing for Advanced Ship Navigation: A Comprehensive Review

Maritime navigation offers a comprehensive approach to optimising ship navigation, in such a way that guarantees the safety and effectiveness of the journey through multiple techniques, like the adaptive weather routing technique, which uses the predictive model and the current weather conditions for efficient navigation. The review mainly emphasizes the basic principles and computational simulation for sustainable navigation in advancing the route defining algorithm. Discusses about the conventional route defining algorithms and dynamic route defining algorithm by adjusting for wind, waves, and currents. A comparison analysis shows how well different algorithms work in various weather conditions, and case studies show how they are used in the actual world, while new trends are being discussed, major problems also concern the need for accurate climate predictions, high-speed data processing, and an efficient response plan. The Advancements in artificial intelligence and composite path forecasting also address issues related to major needs, such as accurate weather forecasts, high-speed data processing, and effective reaction tactics. Through this insights of this review provides on future directions for adaptive weather routing research and development that the sustainable growth of intelligent naval navigation is supported.
