A Research and Development on the Navigation Support Station of Weather Routing to Reduce Fuel ConsumptionTo select the optimum route to reduce fuel consumption, we research and develop of the navigation support station having the function of(1) weather data management function,(2) estimation ship performance function and(3) selecting optimum route function. On(1), using a cluster computing system, the wind and wave forecast were made and the validity and practicality of the forecast were confirmed. Moreover, the weather data management system was built. On(2), the ship's performance estimation algorithm of each ship by abstract logbook analysis and a performance model was developed, and practicality was confirmed. On(3), realization of the optimal route calculation on global scales and verification of the calculation result were performed, and the feature of optimum route in some sea area was shown.
