Maritime route optimisation: how small adjustments can deliver up to 10-15% fuel savings
Small adjustments to maritime routes can unlock significant fuel savings without major operational changes. Using MWI Shipping routing software, even short voyages can achieve up to 10% fuel reduction—while longer, more complex routes can reach average savings of up to 15%.
Why slower sailing does not always mean lower fuel consumption
Weather routing in hybrid vessel operations shows that faster can sometimes mean more efficient. By optimising timing to avoid adverse wind and wave conditions, operators can reduce resistance and significantly cut fuel consumption.
