Smart Optimization for a Sustainable Future

With the release of s-Planner's latest version, StormGeo introduced powerful new capabilities, including the Variable Speed / Track Optimization module, enhanced vessel-performance modelling, and deeper ship-to-shore integration — enabling fleets to plan smarter, navigate safer, and operate more sustainably.

Variable Speed / Track Optimization allows vessels to model multiple speed scenarios across voyage segments, accounting for weather, fuel consumption, arrival windows, and operational constraints. As a result, operators can achieve up to 5% fuel savings, reduced waiting times, and lower emissions.
