Supporting operational planning, safety, and efficiency under uncertain weather conditions.
Weather remains one of the most critical and least structurally integrated factors in maritime decision-making.
Despite its direct impact on safety, fuel consumption, schedules, and compliance, weather is still often treated as external information rather than a strategic operational variable.
Marine Weather Intelligence was created to help maritime stakeholders reintegrate weather into operational and strategic decisions, through clear, expert-led decision support.
Marine Weather Intelligence supports commercial marine operators with decision-ready weather intelligence, combining advanced routing, vessel-specific performance, quantified risks, and expert support designed for both ship and shore teams.
Merchant navy officers receive limited formal training in meteorology: 22 hours in 5 years.
Weather interpretation is often left to experience rather than quantified analysis.
Existing tools are either too complex or too generic to support operational decisions.
Reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Maintain reliable ETAs.
Protect vessel, cargo, and crew.
Justify decisions to shore management and external stakeholders.
Weather volatility and extreme events.
Regulatory pressure (emissions, reporting, safety).
Growing need for traceability and decision transparency.
Voyage planning and execution in shipping require continuous trade-offs between route length, weather exposure, fuel consumption, and arrival time.
Weather-related decisions affect not only performance but also long-term vessel integrity and compliance metrics.
These challenges are coupled with international demands for early risks anticipation and environmental compliance.
Managing fuel consumption under variable weather conditions.
Maintaining realistic and reliable ETAs.
Understanding weather-related risks beyond simple avoidance.
Aligning decisions between the bridge and shore-based teams.
Special transport and towing operations are often constrained by narrow weather tolerances.
Vessel motions, wave-induced loads, and parametric rolling can become limiting factors well before extreme conditions are reached.
Assessing motion-related risks rather than only route exposure
Limited margins once operations are committed.
High decency on forecast reliability and interpretation.
Risk-oriented routing focused on vessel motions and stability.
Indicators addressing parametric roll and dynamic loads.
Comparative scenario analysis prior to commitment.
Expert-assisted interpretation for complex operations.
Passenger vessels face additional constraints related to comfort, schedule integrity, and public exposure.
Weather-related decisions have direct implications for safety perception and operational continuity.
Managing vessel motions affecting passenger comfort.
Maintaining itinerary reliable
Anticipating conditions that may affect onboard experience.
Weather-aware routing focused on comfort and safety
Anticipation of disruptive weather events
Clear alerts and guidance for itinerary adjustments
Fleet-level visibility when operating multiple vessels
All these activities rely on the same MWI core technology:
AI-driven data processing applied across the platform, probabilistic weather analysis, adaptive vessel performance modelling, and human expert judgement.
This foundation enables MWI to support multiple maritime activities today, while progressively tailoring configurations and interfaces to each sector.
MWI does not aim to replace operational responsibility or existing bridge systems.
It provides clear, expert-led decision support to help maritime professionals navigate weather complexity with greater confidence and consistency.
