Journal of Polytechnıc, 24(3), 879-892.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12939/2248Aim To build a decision support system to find the optimal routes in different sea and weather conditions. Design & Methodology In this study, the Aegean Sea is selected as environment. For calculations, CSGA Algorithm is used. Originality This study is the first study which uses CSGA Algorithm fort he purpose of weather routing. Findings The system was able to find optimal routes in rough weather conditions. Conclusion A weather routing system which obtains sea and weather data from Inmarsat and Copernicus services and finds optimal routes using CSGA is proposed.
