Optimise your journey in all ocean weather conditions 

Weather is a crucial factor in planning a voyage. It can determine whether the journey can go ahead or impact the route chosen.

Within one view users can access detailed and advanced maritime weather conditions as part of the passage planning process. The Weather module is a data overlay in the voyage planner software. It makes it easy to consider all factors when optimising your ship’s voyage. 

This means your crew can view detailed forecasts for up to nine days in advance for specific coordinates, ports and voyages – all, visualised against the passage plan. Ship masters can also set marine weather safety thresholds for conditions that create unsafe sea states, such as wind strength or wave height.

One Ocean ship weather software advantages

Intelligent assessment of ocean weather conditions

  • Gain visibility of the maritime weather up to nine days ahead.
  • Evaluate how marine conditions will impact the vessel at every stage of the voyage – including synchronous and parametric roll.
  • Factor in multiple variables, including wind speed and direction, wave and swell height, risk of precipitation and visibility and atmospheric pressure.

Better voyage planning and monitoring

  • More accurate voyage times and avoidance of costly heavy weather that requires more fuel to power through.
  • This can help with decarbonisation efforts.
  • Continually assess marine weather conditions en route, enabling real- time decision making as conditions change.

An integrated part of the voyage planning process

  • Those on board and onshore can consider weather as part of a single view alongside other factors and considerations for informed decision- making.
  • Customisable: fleet managers can be sure company safety policies are being followed by having weather thresholds set across the fleet or for particular vessels during installation.
  • Seamless communication on board and onshore so everyone knows what is planned.

 

How it works: the voyage from Paranagua to Mombasa

The ocean weather report

A Handymax vessel is chartered to transport 46,000 MT of soybeans from Paranaguá, Brazil, to Mombasa, Kenya. This 21-day voyage takes place in January, a period known for adverse winter weather conditions in the South Atlantic and frequent storms near the southern tip of Africa.

The Weather module provides a forecast up to nine days in advance, updated four times daily. This enables navigational officers to assess potential weather risks during voyage planning and provide an accurate ETA, factoring in weather conditions.
