MWI redefines safety and simplicity at sea
For skippers and captains, choosing the right route isn’t just a decision—it’s a responsibility. Weather models shift constantly, and what looks like a safe passage in the morning can become a risk by evening. Navigating these uncertainties can be overwhelming, even for experienced sailors. That’s where Marine Weather Intelligence (MWI) changes everything.
At MWI, we don’t 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—especially weather models—we ensure 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. That’s why MWI is investing in a dedicated research program 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. From gust accuracy to wave resolution, our team and technology assess every angle to ensure the most relevant model is used for each situation.
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, etc.)
- Performance in positioning weather systems
- (Soon) Responsiveness to distinct weather patterns
This rigorous qualification of data inputs is what sets MWI apart. We don’t just refine the outputs—we build from the most trustworthy foundation available.
A key contribution for IFREMER's team
A great example of this work is our recent breakthrough in wave height forecasting, developed in collaboration with Ifremer after our success in the Octo’Pousse 2023 contest. Special thanks to Ghislain Lizée, as well as Michaël Accensi and Nicolas Maillard, whose contributions were essential to this achievement.
Sail confidently—we’ve got the forecast covered
Model qualification may be complex, but it is essential to us. With our deep technical expertise, AI-enhanced analysis, and commitment to constant improvement, we make your routing decisions simpler, safer, and more reliable.
Because at sea, clarity is everything—and with MWI, it’s always within reach.
