An automated tool for discovering ferry routes of minimum CO2 emissions has been developed in the frame of the GUTTA project and is available online at www.gutta-visir.eu. The tool makes use of operational marine forecasts and delivers the amount of CO2 which can be saved on each route. Daily updated marine forecasts are used and the computations are carried out on HPC facility. The strategic added value of the optimal routes is also quantified in terms of Carbon Intensity Indicators (CII). CII
