Sažetak
The review paper addresses the intricate relationship between ship hydrodynamic performance and
the implementation of weather routing within the context of slow steaming. The maritime industry, as
a vital component of global trade, has faced increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint
and operational costs. Slow steaming, characterized by reduced cruising speeds, has emerged as a
sustainable approach to minimize fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Weather routing,
on the other hand, optimizes ship routes based on meteorological and oceanographic conditions, with
the aim of enhancing both safety and fuel efficiency. Ship hydrodynamics, encompassing resistance,
propulsion, maneuverability, and seakeeping, directly impact a ship’s performance. The relationship
between these hydrodynamic aspects and weather routing in the context of slow steaming is crucial
for optimizing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, ensuring safety, and minimizing operational costs
in the maritime industry. By integrating these factors, ship operators can achieve a more sustainable
and efficient approaches to sea transport within the context of slow steaming and weather routing.
