ChartCo, the leading global supplier of maritime digital data and compliance services, has selected MeteoGroup to deliver its weather routing technology services (SPOS) through its OneOcean platform.
OneOcean is ChartCo’s software platform for e-navigation, route and passage planning, environmental compliance, data management and a broad range of other services. The MeteoGroup services enable ships to safely navigate the globe with minimal fuel consumption and emissions, by calculating and recalculating optimum routes and anticipating oncoming weather and sea conditions.
Custom Software
In order to have a more flexible and more accurate weather service included into OneOcean, ChartCo tendered for an innovative weather routing solution. MeteoGroup enhanced its comprehensive shipping portfolio with a custom software development kit (SDK), based on its SPOS (Ship Performance Optimisation System) product, and this tailored result will fuel the growing range of services within the OneOcean platform.
Global Partnership
The MeteoGroup product not only provides ChartCo with a weather routing solution, but has also resulted in a wider global partnership. With the inclusion of fully integrated weather and route optimisation, ChartCo’s portfolio becomes a one-stop shop for e-navigation and compliance management. Additionally, ChartCo will also offer further MeteoGroup services.
OneOcean
Using navigation, port, route, tidal, weather, environmental data and more, OneOcean creates comprehensive and fully customised passage plans within minutes. The plans meet bridge procedure guides, Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) and can be varied to meet individual vessel requirements. Plans can then be monitored and adapted from the shoreside OneOcean platform, which now also provides the integrated weather solutions along with vessel tracking, regulatory and environmental compliance management capability.
