Case Study: Container Transportation Company saves $64,320 with StormGeo route optimization

Changing course to save $64,000 with recommended StormGeo route

The customer, a container transportation company, faced a challenge in optimizing a transatlantic voyage from Halifax to Bremerhaven. The ship's captain intended to take a more southerly route for pilotage reasons, but this path was forecasted to encounter heavy headwinds from a storm system. The company engaged StormGeo's routing advisory services to analyze and recommend a more efficient course.

StormGeo recommended a great circle route that took advantage of a high-pressure system, avoiding the severe weather. This optimized solution, implemented by the vessel's captain, resulted in substantial savings. StormGeo's route saved the customer $64,320 in fuel costs, reduced consumption by 195 MT of fuel oil, and lowered CO2 emissions by 585 MT.
