Abstract
A method performed by a marine vessel plans a trajectory between a first point and a second point, the trajectory having a first path and a second path. The method includes a first step of computing a theoretical trajectory in a ground reference frame from the first point to the second point, assuming an absence of water current. The theoretical trajectory has a first theoretical path and a second theoretical path. A second step includes computing a second path in the ground reference frame, and a third step includes computing a corrected first path in a water reference. A fourth step includes computing the trajectory in the ground reference frame from the first point to the second point based on the corrected first path and the second path.
