Ship routing is a procedure where an optimum track is determined for a particular vessel on a particular run, based on expected weather, sea state and ocean currents. Optimization can be preformed in terms of (1) minimum passage time; (2) minimum fuel consumption within a specified passage time; (3) minimum damage to ship and/or (deck)cargo by the sea; (4) maximum comfort to passengers; (5) or a combination of the above criteria. For most commercial purposes a combination of the criteria (1) and (3) or (2) and (3) is preferable.
