Not all weather models perform equally in all regions and conditions. Marine Weather Intelligence is building a rigorous qualification framework to ensure every routing recommendation rests on the most reliable forecast data available.
MWI Redefines Safety and Simplicity at Sea
For skippers and captains, choosing the right route is not just a decision, it is a responsibility. Weather models shift constantly, and what looks like a safe passage in the morning can become a risk by evening.
At Marine Weather Intelligence, we do not just optimise routes, we deliver end-to-end guidance rooted in technical expertise and powered by AI. From advanced routing algorithms to the critical qualification of input data, every recommendation is backed by reliable, science-based insights.
With MWI, you no longer need to be a marine weather expert to make confident decisions at sea.
Weather Models: Complex, Crucial, and Now Handled for You
Not all weather models are created equal. Their accuracy varies by region, forecast length, and meteorological scenario. Picking the wrong one can mean sailing into unexpected storms or wasting precious time on overly cautious detours.
Marine Weather Intelligence is investing in a dedicated research programme to evaluate and benchmark the performance of major institutional models. We analyse how each model performs under specific conditions, identify systematic biases, and quantify uncertainties, so you receive not just a forecast, but a fully qualified decision-making tool.
Beyond Optimisation: Trust in the Input
Rather than rely on a single deterministic source, MWI compares models across a wide range of criteria:
- Spatial and temporal resolution
- Accuracy for key parameters (wind, gusts, wave height)
- Performance in positioning weather systems
- Responsiveness to distinct weather patterns (in development)
This rigorous qualification of data inputs is what sets MWI apart. We do not just refine the outputs, we build from the most trustworthy foundation available.
A Key Contribution from IFREMER Partnership
A significant example of this work is our recent breakthrough in wave height forecasting, developed in collaboration with IFREMER following our success in the Octo’Pousse 2023 competition.
Special thanks to Ghislain Lizée, Michaël Accensi, and Nicolas Maillard, whose contributions were essential to this achievement.
Sail Confidently, We Have the Forecast Covered
Model qualification may be complex, but it is essential. With deep technical expertise, AI-enhanced analysis, and commitment to constant improvement, we make routing decisions simpler, safer, and more reliable.
“Because at sea, clarity is everything, and with MWI, it is always within reach.”
