Goal is that ship will safely reach destination in minimum time; mathematical model for optimum route, based on Pontryagin's maximum principle, is presented; methods are described for specifying and forecasting directional wave spectra at various ocean points, based on meteorological data; role of ship in overall system, how empirical and analytical ship speed vs sea state curves can be combined with wave forecasts to compute optimum ship trajectories, computer technology, etc, are discussed; sample trajectories are included.
