Case Study: VesselBot achieves 10–15% TCE uplift and 30% GHG reduction with Spire Weather (Spire)

How VesselBot integrated Spire Weather forecast data to determine the optimal route and drive efficient operational planning

VesselBot partnered with Spire, integrating Spire Weather Forecasts into its TCE voyage optimization system to address regulatory and customer pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve profitability. Facing IMO targets (‑50% by 2050) and demand for better operational efficiency, VesselBot needed more accurate, real‑time weather data (wind, waves, currents) to optimize speed, routing and fuel use across voyages.

By streaming Spire Weather alongside AIS, port analytics, bunker prices and vessel performance data, VesselBot updated its algorithms to factor weather into voyage planning. The Spire integration boosted weather forecast accuracy by 20–30%, delivered a 10–15% average increase in TCE and reduced GHG emissions by about 30% for customers, with weather shown to drive roughly 15–20% of voyage performance impact.
