This article presents the underlying concepts of a mathematical model optimizing the routes of vessels carrying
dangerous goods proceeding in the vicinity of passenger ferries. The method is based on the estimated risk of
collision between a chemical tanker and a passenger vessel. Risk assessment was performed using three models.
The first model determines the distance of the passing ships on the selected area on the basis of the AIS data.
The second one is a stochastic model of navigational safety assessment, which provides statistical data on the
probability of collision between the two chosen types of vessels. The third model determines the consequences
of collisions between passenger ships and chemical tankers. The study defines the scope of the parameters
affecting the objective function of vessel route optimization and their importance in the optimization problem
