This article explores the characteristics of ship maneuvering under conditions of strong tidal currents, using the Kuril Strait as a case study. It describes the geographical and hydrological features of the study region, as well as the impact of temporal and spatial variability of currents on the safety and efficiency of navigation. A methodology for optimizing ship routes was developed, based on the integration of mathematical models of tidal processes and adaptive course correction algorithms. A comparison between optimized routes and traditional route planning methods was conducted, demonstrating the advantages of the proposed approach in reducing transit time, lowering fuel consumption, and increasing the accuracy of following the designated route. The applicability of the developed recommendations for different classes of ships and seasonal conditions was evaluated, and directions for further research were proposed.
