Abstract
An on-board voyage optimization system - the Expert Voyage Pilot - has been developed and its main functionalities are described in the paper. The EVP optimizes the voyage plan with respect to fuel consumption and/or overall costs, considering relevant data as satellite-transmitted wave and weather forecasts, ocean currents, propulsive and kinematic performance of the vessel, seakeeping criteria, charter requirements and restricted areas extracted from electronic sea charts. The user interface, the interface to electronic chart display (ECDIS), the propulsion model, the motion performance model and the optimization strategy are described, and results from sea trails are presented and discussed.
