Abstract: With the increasing complexity of global maritime logistics and the rising impact of unpredictable oceanic weather, there is a critical need for intelligent systems that support safer and more efficient sea navigation. This research addresses that need by offering a data-driven solution that integrates real-time marine conditions into voyage planning. By focusing on ocean-only navigation paths and incorporating dynamic environmental awareness, it helps identify hazardous zones and enables proactive decision-making to avoid risks such as severe weather or navigational obstacles. The system promotes operational safety, reduces fuel consumption by optimizing routes, and enhances overall voyage reliability. It also improves accessibility through interactive visual tools, making it valuable not only for shipping companies but also for port authorities, academic researchers, and disaster management agencies. The research lays the groundwork for future advancements in smart maritime technologies, ensuring that sea travel evolves with greater intelligence, adaptability, and sustainability.
