Improving the safety and efficiency of maritime shipping has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve profitability Stochastic ship routing the problem of finding a safe efficient and timely route for a ship is difficult in large part because of uncertainty in weather forecasts which come as an ensemble a collection of many possible future weather conditions Previous safety aware ship routing methods have used either conservative interpretations of the ensemble by assuming the worst case weather conditions leading to excessive fuel consumption or by using the average weather conditions leading to potentially unsafe routes In this paper we investigate the use of the well known Conditional Value at risk CVaR in the objective and constraint functions for ship routing problems which allows a range of risk tolerances between the average and the worst case We illustrate the advantages of using CVaR for the problem of ship routing in several simulation examples using real weather forecasts
