Weilbach Optimizer

Weilbach Optimizer turns voyage, vessel and weather data into better routing decisions. Starting with a navigable route, Optimizer analyzes weather, wind, waves, currents and vessel-specific performance to identify more efficient alternatives. Optimized routes can be compared by time, cost and fuel impact, giving Masters and shore teams clear options to decide which route to sail.

Full navigability

Maintained from planning through every optimization, from berth to berth, not just between pilot stations.

Vessel specific optimization

Wind, waves, currents and draft-dependent vessel performance, with 1-2 million routes assessed per navigation.

Real-world data

High-resolution weather forecasts, AIS positions and current data keep calculations relevant as conditions change.

Clear commercial choices

Compare optimized routes by time, cost and fuel impact with speed profiles and weather information to support the final decision.

Safer, greener voyages

Avoid heavy weather, reduce fuel consumption and improve voyage times without compromising safety or schedules.

Trusted by 50+ companies

Shipping company reports seeing 10% lower fuel consumption, 2%+ shorter voyage times and 13* less heavy-weather exposure.

How it works

Optimizer analyses a planned route against weather forecast data, AIS, currents and vessel-specific performance data. The route is planned in Viewer and combined with continuously updated weather and voyage data to identify potential hazards and opportunities for optimisation. Optimizer then suggests alternative routes and voyage speeds, allowing the crew to compare time, fuel and cost and select the best option to keep the vessel safe, efficient and on schedule.

Collaboration of leading companies

Leading companies in the maritime industry have collaborated to make Optimizer. A weather data service and a Route Optimizer from Optimum Voyage are integrated into the Viewer platform from Weilbach. Along with weather data, Optimizer is accessed via Viewer, our back of bridge tool. These three components allow routes and weather data to be used to get the best route possible.
