Voyage Optimisation, Powered by Ocean Science

Route optimisation powered by ocean current intelligence, built on the science of below-surface ocean dynamics.

How It Works

Three simple phases to optimise every voyage

1

Pre-Voyage

Minimum 24 hours before departure

  • Operator sends passage plan
  • OI generates optimised route
  • Initial waypoints sent to vessel
2

During Voyage

Continuous cycle

  • Regular AIS tracking
  • Ocean and weather data updates
  • Dynamic route re-optimisation
  • Updated waypoints delivered
3

End of Voyage

End of passage

  • Post-voyage performance report
  • Actual vs optimised comparison
  • Fuel savings and emissions data

The Science Behind the Platform

Purpose-built ocean intelligence, combining satellite data, fluid dynamics, and AI

Ocean Current Forecasting

We map below-surface ocean currents, including mesoscale and sub-mesoscale eddies that hold 90% of the ocean’s kinetic energy. These dynamics determine 66% of shipping fuel efficiency, yet are missing from traditional routing tools.

Satellite Data Integration

High-resolution satellite ocean data from the EarthDaily constellation (launching Q2 2026) provides near-real-time current insights and sub-mesoscale routing precision unavailable to competitors.

AI & Machine Learning

Our AI engine evaluates millions of route permutations factoring fuel burn, speed, ocean resistance, time-cost tradeoffs, and safety margins. It learns and improves with every voyage, adapting to changing conditions in real time.

Accuracy & Validation

Every route recommendation is validated against historical AIS data and post-voyage performance reports. Our hindcast analyses consistently demonstrate 2 to 20% fuel savings across vessel classes and trade routes.

Key Capabilities

Everything you need to optimise fleet performance

Dynamic Route Optimisation

AI-powered routes based on real-time ocean conditions, not just great circle paths.

Fuel & Emissions Savings

Before-and-after voyage comparisons to quantify and validate performance.

CII Tracking & Compliance

Forecast and monitor Carbon Intensity Indicator ratings. Auto-generated SEEMP and EU ETS reports.

Adaptive Re-Routing

Routes adjust dynamically as ocean currents, weather, and conditions change during the voyage.

Scope 3 Reporting

Verifiable emissions reports for charterers and ESG teams, aligned with CII, SEEMP, and ESG frameworks.

Multi-Vessel Support

Bulk, tanker, container, cruise. Adapted to each vessel’s profile, speed range, and fuel characteristics.
