Case Study: TORM achieves 10% voyage savings and improved safety with DTN's SPOS & FleetGuard

How TORM balances safety and efficiency with SPOS & FleetGuard

TORM, a leading product tanker company, faced the constant challenge of balancing crew and cargo safety with operational efficiency—especially during severe weather such as Hurricane Dorian. To manage route decisions and avoid unsafe but inefficient detours, TORM turned to DTN’s solutions, deploying SPOS (real-time onboard route optimization) alongside FleetGuard for aggregated weather and routing insights.

DTN’s SPOS alerted crews to extreme winds and surges while FleetGuard fed onshore teams with consolidated meteorological and routing data, enabling coordinated go/no-go decisions between captains, meteorologists, operations and commercial teams. The DTN-backed approach preserved safety and improved performance, delivering about 10% savings on at least 50% of voyages (including regular Pacific and Atlantic sailings) while helping guide vessels back to optimal routes.
