Description

Source code of the VISIR-2 ship weather routing model. 

The Python-refactored VISIR-2 model considers currents, waves, and wind to optimise routes. The model was validated, and its computational performance is quasi-linear. For a ferry sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, VISIR-2 yields the largest percentage emission savings for upwind navigation. Given the vessel performance curve, the model is generalisable across various vessel types.

Notes

This version of the VISIR-2 source code corresponds to the one documented in the paper:
