Maritime Weather Data

We know that managing costs and mitigating risks for navigation and port operations is key.

With over 20K atmospheric profiles gathered per day, Maritime Weather enables the delivery of unique weather conditions and weather forecast data to support you with:

• Understanding atmospheric conditions anywhere in the open ocean
• Validating and improving forecasts and overall accuracy

Maritime weather also offers a multi-objective voyage optimization algorithm, allowing users to calculate efficient routes without having to spend resources developing the technology. This solution is also suited to those who have existing algorithms and would like to update to the latest technology without having to invest by themselves.

Weather and voyage performance optimization

• Reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions: receive recommended vessel route options based on vessel-specific constraints and their desired outcome. Maritime Weather also allows to identify the most optimal trajectory to sail through, by identifying potential weather patterns and obtaining actionable insights.
• Coloured spectrum for easy decision making: Simply enter the details of your ship, the waypoints for your potential journey, and cargo characteristics into the API. We then merge it with the weather forecast data for that specific route.

Insurance and compliance

• Maritime and ground transport investigators can use the “point by point” capability, to save time and effort by retrieving the exact data that they need and investigate specific issues.
• Evaluate the risk level of common routes, derived from the weather.

Risk & claim management

• A “Traffic-Light” concept conveys the result for each queried part of the journey: Risk Insights calculate a snapshot of a vessel’s risk level for each leg of the voyage at sea. The user inputs characteristics of the vessel, load, and desired route into an API, and Spire’s algorithm calculates the projected risk along the route.
• Use the risk value along multiple navigation paths and choose the best one that will help you maintain safety and protect your crew, cargo and vessel.

Commodity & market intelligence

• Power-up and train AI models with over 30 years of historical weather data to input into systems: generate AI-driven insights to train models and better predict the future impact on your business.
• Choose weather variables from Spire’s global historical data set and customize it as per industry’s needs.

Maintenance

• Plan maintenance on wind power stations.
• Reduce risk of extreme weather events disrupting operations and other unanticipated situations by knowing the chances of such events occurring.
• Customise variables that will provide key insights into your critical business needs.

Offshore maritime operations

• Estimate power production more accurately.
• Minimize losses due to weather downtime.
• Ensure safe and cost-effective operations and maintenance.
