In this contribution for the 2022 WOC user's meeting, we presented some recent developments of the VISIR ship routing model, which now includes a semi-empirical parametrisation of the seakeeping of an ocean-going vessel, accounting also for the relative direction of waves. Starting from analysis fields of the Copernicus Marine Service and making use of VISIR, numerical experiments of least-CO2 routes were carried out for a bulk carrier sailing between Australia and Japan, assessing the potential for decarbonisation of this specific route.

Abstract
In this contribution for the 2022 WOC user's meeting, we presented some recent developments of the VISIR ship routing model, which now includes a semi-empirical parametrisation of the seakeeping of an ocean-going vessel, accounting also for the relative direction of waves. Starting from analysis fields of the Copernicus Marine Service and making use of VISIR, numerical experiments of least-CO2 routes were carried out for a bulk carrier sailing between Australia and Japan, assessing the potential for decarbonisation of this specific route.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
