How does the routing prioritize fuel efficiency?

When the `get_optimal_route` tool is called with the priority set to 'fuel', it selects paths that utilize favorable ocean currents and minimize wave resistance to reduce total consumption.

Can I check if a route is safe for a specific tanker?

Yes, you can use `analyze_weather_impact` to get a safety score based on weather conditions, or `check_route_compliance` to verify that the route respects vessel draft and restricted zones.

What factors affect the fuel consumption calculation?

The `calculate_vessel_consumption` tool calculates fuel burn based on the specific vessel's efficiency profile, the intended speed over ground, and environmental resistance from waves and currents.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides specialized maritime logistics tools for oil and gas tankers. It connects AI agents to real-time environmental data and vessel-specific constraints. Use get_optimal_route to find the most efficient path between ports, analyze_weather_impact to assess safety risks from waves and wind, calculate_vessel_consumption to predict fuel burn, and check_route_compliance to ensure routes respect maritime restrictions and draft limits.
