Abstract
Energy-saving navigation (Eco-Navigation) for domestic vessels is an important subject these days. The Eco-Navigation planning system minimizes fuel consumption by optimal route and speed planning using highly precise weather prediction and ship performance estimation. This system has been demonstrated to reduce FOC statistically by about 4%. Furthermore, a route-only plan achieved similar reductions in the case of the ship I-Maru
