A shipping vessel is disclosed. The shipping vessel includes a vessel segment and a control system to control the vessel segment. The shipping vessel includes at least one first variable ballast tank and at least one second variable ballast tank adjacently positioned to the at least one first variable ballast tank. The at least one control system configured to receive a subroute comprising a target peak, a target trough, a target course, and a target waypoint. Based on the subroute, the at least one control system configured to selectively operate the at least one first variable ballast tank and the at least one second variable ballast tank to alter a travel state of the vessel segment among a positive buoyancy, a negative buoyancy, and a neutral buoyancy.
