Optimization
Available Optimization strategies
After all waypoints are inserted the optimization is done in Parameters sheet. Optimization calculates all parameters
for route steering (like: course and distance between two waypoints, manoeuvring start point, WOP etc.). There are
four possibilities for optimization:
Max Speed:
Calculation uses the maximum speed defined in the ship parameters and multiplied by all reduction factors (weather,
ICE, fouling etc.) together with speed limits given for each waypoint and gives a result of ETA.
Time Table:
Calculates the speed required in order to arrive in destination at required ETA. Maximum speed is never exceeded.
Max. Profit:
This calculation takes in account the fuel cost and the fixed cost of the ship and calculates the most profitable speed
(highest profit per time unit).
Min. Cost:
This calculation takes in account the fuel cost and the fixed cost of the ship and calculates the speed which gives the
minimum total cost.
How to optimize
In a Parameters sheet you can define Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) and desired number of waypoint for ETA.
This ETA time is depending on optimization strategies.
1. Open parameters sheet.
2. Select desired optimization strategies from combo box in the Optimize field.
