Danish maritime firm Weilbach is adding technology firm Optimum Voyage’s voyage optimisation technology to its platform called Weilbach Optimizer.

The tool will work with routes created in Weilbach Viewer and use vessel performance data, weather forecasts, ocean currents and other information to recommend route and speed options, the companies said in an emailed update on Monday.

It evaluates millions of possible route and speed combinations while taking navigability and the planned route into account.

The aim is to help crews cut fuel use, avoid heavy weather and improve ETA reliability.

The final routing decision remains with the crew.

“With Weilbach Optimizer, crews get practical, navigable route options built on the same engine that optimizes more than 700 vessels every day, and the final decision always remains on the bridge," Martin Hjorth Simonsen, CEO of Optimum Voyage, said.

“With more than 50 shipowners already using the technology with great success worldwide, we are very excited to bring Weilbach Optimizer to market," Daniel Friis, CCO of Weilbach A/S, said.
