Maritime transportation is responsible for almost 3% of global GHG with a projection to double in less than 30 years. In parallel, IMO is demanding these emissions drop 70% by 2050. There are various solutions that aim to reduce maritime fuel consumption/ emissions. Among those, today’s weather routing has only managed to save 3 to 10% of those emissions mainly because their input weather forecasts are not precise enough. It is evident that today’s forecast models have reached an accuracy capacity due to the numerical modeling complexity of the involved physical processes. AlongRoute is using new, ground-breaking AI models which can overcome these physics barriers by “learning” how physics work. Thus we are able to produce ultra-precise marine weather forecasts in fine spatial resolutions via a very efficient computational process. With our data, current weather routing solutions can perform up to 130% better than today which could save up to 3 million MT of cargo ship emissions in only one year. Apart from the great business opportunity, the environmental impact is immense, and so we are determined to guide every mile of every vessel with our forecasts towards a greener, safer, and more cost-efficient maritime.
