Description
This monograph presents a comprehensive exploration of scientific and practical approaches to increasing the energy efficiency of maritime transport through the optimization of navigation methods. Against the backdrop of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and rising fuel costs, the study offers a multidisciplinary framework that addresses key operational, technical, and digital strategies for minimizing fuel consumption across various ship operations. The work is structured into thematic chapters that sequentially build an integrated understanding of energy-efficient navigation. Strategic models of ship control are proposed, focusing on minimizing route deviations through precise measurements and mathematical error decomposition. Route optimization under meteorological conditions is examined using advanced software systems, while the interplay between navigational risk and energy use is analyzed through multi-criteria decision-making approaches. Particular emphasis is placed on vessel interaction scenarios, mooring operations, and port maneuvering, where energy-intensive auxiliary processes are analyzed through risk-based methodologies. Artificial intelligence is explored as a transformative tool for course-keeping and trajectory control, enabling significant gains in fuel efficiency and safety. The potential of underwater cargo transport and its energy advantages is introduced, alongside the integration of meteorological and hydrographic support systems using satellite and in-situ data. Inland waterway systems are considered as case studies for applying intelligent monitoring and real-time energy-navigational assessments. This monograph represents the consolidated result of a three-year research project entitled "Theory and Practice of Energy Efficiency Management of a Marine Vessel", carried out by the Department of Navigation and Control of the Ship at Odesa National Maritime University (Registration No. 0122U201366). The research findings offer a unified model for improving maritime energy efficiency through smarter navigation and are intended for researchers, maritime practitioners, and policymakers working toward sustainable development in the shipping sector.
