Weather and the maritime industry
The weather is intrinsically linked to all aspects of the shipping industry.
Owners and insurers
Damage to vessels and cargo caused by weather can be expensive for ship owners and insurers and, in many cases, can cause delays whilst surveys and repairs are carried out.
Charterers and traders
When transporting goods, traders and charterers need reliable and accurate information about costs and arrival times and need to be sure that the vessel is performing to the highest standard. With accurate weather information, charterers and traders can improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Performance analysis provides charterers with the necessary information to evaluate whether the ships have been performing up to standard.
Ship managers
The primary benefits of ship weather routing services are time and cost reductions and increased safety. Savings in operating costs are derived from reduced transit time, avoidance of heavy weather encounters, optimised fuel consumption, reduced cargo and hull damage, more efficient scheduling of dockside activities, fewer emergency repairs, more efficient use of personnel and extended ship operating life.
