International shipping is responsible for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the need for more efficient routing methods.
Traditional routing techniques primarily rely on heuristic approaches, which may not fully optimize fuel consumption.
The newly proposed method, PIER, integrates physics-informed reinforcement learning, aiming to minimize fuel waste and enhance routing efficiency in maritime operations.
