The needs are increasing for counter measures against environmental regulations involving more efficient emissions planning, and safe voyage support that can handle the high volume of data from vessels thanks to the spread of shipboard broadband.
In the last 30 years since this company was founded, Weathernews has been providing a service to support safe and cost effective voyages focusing on ship operators who charter in from owners.
Weathernews said that it will begin the development of a new service, expanding from its flagship Optimum ship routeing service. A seminar was held in Athens about the new service. This seminar was attended by 80 people from 50 companies from Greece and beyond.
