Our meteorologists assess weather, waves and route together. When conditions change, the master and office receive a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it. This allows action to be taken before weather becomes an operational problem.
After registration, we agree the objective with the master and office: safety, ETA or the most economical passage. Throughout the voyage, we assess route, weather, waves, currents and regulatory constraints together. When a better option emerges, the master receives a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
Three services that can be commissioned individually or combined.
We review the planned route regularly and recommend an alternative when weather or waves make an adjustment advisable.
Weather and wave forecasts along a fixed route. Useful when ETA and agreed safety thresholds are the main considerations.
We review route, position and expected weather impact across the fleet. Masters and the office are contacted proactively when agreed thresholds may be reached.
We define the voyage, required support and communication route together with you.
METEO TRACKER brings weather, route and fleet information together in one interface. Our routing desk adds a personal meteorological assessment. The services can be used separately or as one coordinated solution.
Clear handovers, one point of contact and recommendations whenever conditions require action.
You send the route, vessel data, departure date and required service. The first briefing is typically provided 24 hours before departure.
We compare the planned route with current models and agree recipients, communication route and frequency with you.
Position reports, weather and waves are assessed throughout the voyage. When action is advisable, the master receives a clear recommendation.
On request, we compare the actual voyage with the planned route and assess the effects on time and consumption.
The figures come from two documented Ardmore voyages. Actual results always depend on route, vessel and weather conditions.
“WetterWelt is among the best of the weather-routing companies we work with.”
AEFPC team feedback, shared by Ardmore Shipping
For an initial assessment, send us the ports of departure and destination, departure date, vessel data and required service. We usually respond within one working day with a concrete proposal.
