A StormGeo Case Study
Shanghai Run Yuan Shipping Management Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese dry‑bulk owner-operator with 13 Handymax, Post‑Panamax and Capesize vessels sailing worldwide, needed advanced weather forecasting, timely alerts for heavy weather, rogue waves and piracy, and detailed operational data to evaluate ETA reliability, speed and fuel consumption so they could prioritize and manage vessels proactively. They turned to StormGeo for voyage weather routing and fleet performance analytics.
StormGeo implemented its BonVoyage System (BVS) onboard for graphical voyage optimization and 24/7 weather and piracy alerts, together with the FleetDSS Performance tool for fleetwide visualization and customized alerts. As a result StormGeo significantly reduced weather risk and costs, improved safety and decision speed, and cut dispute losses from about $200,000 per year to $30,000 (with no losses so far this year), while helping avoid potentially multi‑million‑dollar insurance claims and enabling proactive route adjustments in severe weather.
