TI  - An Optimized Routing Procedure for Safe Navigation of Large
Tankers in the Strait of Istanbul
AB  - The risks associated with the navigation of large tankers in restricted waterways have resulted in continuing development of routing
measures such as Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS). This is generally subject to discussion between the administration and ship operators
which may find some navigational rules and regulations unnecessarily restrictive. Motivated by the need for an objective and scientific
method to determine the vessel characteristics and environmental conditions for a safe passage through a restricted waterway, this paper
presents an optimized routing procedure based on maneuvering simulations and non-linear direct search techniques which can be used to
determine the best attainable route for large tankers in restricted waterways and specified environmental conditions. The mathematical
model for predicting the maneuvering performance is based on a modular approach in which the hydrodynamic, propeller and rudder
forces are computed separately, while environmental forces are estimated by semi-empirical methods. The objective of the optimization
procedure is to determine the required number and magnitude of rudder control commands for remaining within a specified TSS and
minimizing a grounding or collision possibility.
