Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show the effect of incorporating various discrete grid systems in a micro-based, ship weather-routeing system, which employs Bellman's dynamic programming algorithm, and either a cost-objective or time-objective performance measure. A simple ship speed and power function is utilized, in the cost computation. The calculation of the least-cost/least-time route is briefly described, but it is the derivation of the discrete grids and their influence on the route decisions that forms the paper's emphasis. The measure of cost within this paper is necessarily notional.
