Optimum Ship Routing can be defined as \"The selection of an optimum track for a transoceanic crossing by the application of long-range predictions of wind, waves and currents to the knowledge of how the routed vessel reacts to these variables\". This paper treats the methodology how to solve optimum ship routing problem by network modeling and reveals the validity of the network model by some numerical experiments.periments.
