Case Study: Sincere Navigation Corporation avoids severe winter storms and meets ETA with StormGeo Ship Routing

Sincere Navigation Protects Vessel from Winter Storms with StormGeo Ship Routing

Sincere Navigation Corporation faced severe winter storm risk on a trans‑Pacific voyage in late 2020 when a Panamax bulker carrying soybeans encountered a rapid storm track across the central Pacific. Their charterer engaged StormGeo’s ship‑routing service, with StormGeo Route Analysts providing expert routing advice to help the slow‑moving bulker avoid rapidly developing heavy weather.

StormGeo’s Route Analysts used up‑to‑date models and historical pattern analysis to recommend a northern route across the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea; the vessel avoided heavy swells south of the Aleutians (including waves above 9 m), arrived on time with crew and cargo safe, and avoided what would have been an additional 12‑day delay and exposure to ~10‑meter bow swells. StormGeo’s routing therefore safeguarded the asset and saved measurable time and risk.
