Voyage Planning & Optimization

Advanced route planning that reduces fuel consumption and ensures timely arrivals.

Voyage Planning & Optimization that works the way you trade

The best voyage is safe, on time and efficient. We combine weather, port and commercial information to plan routes and speeds that support all three.

Planning continues during the voyage, so changes in weather or port conditions can be reflected early.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a replacement for the master’s judgement?

No. We provide commercial and planning support; navigation decisions remain with the master.

Can you plan for a specific charter party speed?

Yes. We plan against the agreed speed and consumption terms.

Does optimisation affect laytime or hire?

It can. We consider contract terms so savings do not create claims.
