Introducing s-Planner 2.7: Smarter Voyage Planning with Variable Speed/Track Optimization

StormGeo has now released s-Planner 2.7, the latest version of our voyage planning solution. Building on five years of proven success, s-Planner continues to deliver smarter, safer, and more efficient voyage planning for the global shipping industry.  

What’s New in s-Planner 2.7 

The new version introduces significant improvements to StormGeo’s most advanced optimization algorithms. These enhancements are designed to deliver even greater efficiency, reliability, and value to our users. With smarter planning technology built into the platform, s-Planner 2.7 strengthens its position as the go-to solution for voyage optimization. The latest release also introduces one of the most important advancements yet: the Variable Speed/Track Optimization function. 

Smarter Planning with Variable Speed/Track Optimization 

With the new Variable Speed/Track Optimization, s-Planner 2.7 allows vessels to adjust their voyage plans dynamically, factoring in changing weather, fuel consumption, arrival windows, and operational requirements. Instead of relying on a fixed speed or track for the entire journey, planners can now model different speed scenarios across voyage segments — ensuring the optimal balance of safety, efficiency, and cost. 

This breakthrough delivers: 

• Up to 5% fuel savings through more precise speed adjustments. 

• Reduced waiting time and port fees with precise ETA-aligned optimization.  

• Reduced emissions as vessels avoid unnecessary high-speed legs. 

• Operational flexibility in response to changing market or weather conditions. 

Further New Features in s-Planner 2.7 

• High-Resolution Weather & Enhanced Visualization – improved UI/UX and clearer display of weather details along the route. 

• Port Vicinity Forecasts – localized, detailed weather data with 6-hourly forecasts at ports and pilot drop points. 

• Office Version for Fleet Operators – shore-based version for monitoring fleets, comparing vessel vs. operator routes, and managing multiple vessels from one interface. 

Designed for the Future of Shipping 

With 2.7, s-Planner becomes more than a planning tool — it’s a decision-making platform for modern fleet management. Version 2.7 combines advanced algorithms with tighter integration and stronger customer support. Together, these features expand StormGeo’s Voyage Intelligence ecosystem, empowering operators at sea and ashore to plan voyages that are safer, greener, and more profitable.
