1. Introduction
Efficient path planning is crucial for maritime fleet management, especially as global shipping demands increase and environmental regulations become more stringent. Traditional path planning methods often fail to optimize for dynamic variables such as weather conditions, fuel consumption, and port congestion. This Ph.D. proposal aims to develop advanced path planning algorithms for maritime fleet management, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to enhance route efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.
