Abstract

In recent years, global trade volume has been increasing, and marine transportation plays a significant role here. In marine transportation, the choice of transportation route has been widely discussed. Minimizing fuel consumption, minimizing voyage time, and maximizing voyage security are concerns of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regarding Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). These goals are contradictory and have not yet been effectively resolved. This paper describes the ship path-planning problem as a multi-objective optimization problem that considers fuel consumption, voyage time, and voyage security. The model considers wind and waves as marine environmental factors. Furthermore, this paper uses an improved Whale Optimization Algorithm to solve multi-objective problems. At the same time, it is compared to three advanced algorithms. Through seven three-objective test functions, the performance of the algorithm is tested and applied in path planning. The results indicate that the algorithm can effectively balance the fuel consumption, voyage time, and voyage security of the ship, offering reasonable paths.
