Route planning is the most important task before the voyage can commence. The best route will save both time and bunkers consumed. The best route is not always the most direct as the vessel may encounter bad weather, therefore, reducing its performance and causing a delay.
Weather Navigation can assist you in planning your next voyage by evaluating several routes and assessing the weather conditions for each one and how these weather conditions may affect the vessel negatively or even help it along the way. This will help save time and bunker consumption allowing vessel to reach its destination timely and safely.
Preliminary voyage planning can be provided in advance using historic data and pilot charts. This will allow us to see what the weather conditions were like for the area in question during previous months and years. This is always liable to change as weather patterns may differ and therefore, more accurate route planning is provided upon request several days prior to commencement of voyage using weather forecasts.
