A new research paper published on arXiv details a constrained optimization framework for vessel speed decisions in the Arctic. The model balances transit efficiency with environmental risks, such as ice and whale encounters, using over 14 million Automatic Identification System (AIS) observations. The study reveals that different vessel types and navigational statuses exhibit distinct trade-offs between speed and risk, with ice-related risks showing a more consistent impact on speed reduction than whale-related risks.
