Customised Routeing
Passages are tailored to the vessel, its cargo and safety thresholds.
Comprehensive, berth-to-berth voyage planning is a complex and time-consuming task for mariners. Without Sea Passage software, the task is even more difficult. Before plotting a course, much data must be gathered and considered to determine a route that meets all necessary criteria for safety, compliance and scheduling.
There are several factors that determine the viability of sea routes. These include vessel details such as equipment, routeing systems, laden levels and safety management systems. Factors relevant to the route, such as forecasted weather, NavArea warnings, environmental zones and piracy risks must also be examined. Finally, there are commercial requirements to take into account, which often concern the vessel’s fuel-consumption and speed, as well as scheduling and cargo requirements.
Passage Manager allows shoreside teams to perform in depth appraisals and plan ECDIS-compliant routes that are as safe, timely and accurate as possible. By simply entering voyage details, including time and port of departure and port of arrival, the solution visually presents the optimal track, complete with a detailed waypoints table. Users can then modify and tweak routes, to understand and visualise how varying circumstances will affect their journey.
All the data, publications and charts needed for comprehensive marine navigation and safety can be viewed and purchased directly through the solution. This ensures that users are always referencing current information and that outfits are constantly up to date.

Passage Manager is comprised of several modules that, together, inform a safe, compliant voyage plan. The synchronisation with outfit management shows the Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) that are required for each step of the journey and distinguishes those that are in the current outfit from those that need to be acquired. Charts can then quickly be purchased through the solution.
Using navigational, port, tidal and weather data, PassageManager can create a broad and fully customised passage plan in minutes. The passage plan is designed to meet bridge procedure guides, the navigational requirements set out in SOLAS Chapter V and the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) Convention. It can be adjusted to meet the specifications of each vessel and requirements mandated at the fleet level. Once complete, plans can be saved, approve, exported, and recalled for quick usage and modification at any time.
PassageManager makes it easier and quicker for crews to collate all required elements for effective voyage planning. Users aboard can access the latest Notices to Mariners to all current warnings and alerts along and around their route. They can also set safety and compliance thresholds that adhere to company policies, such as UKC levels or weather limits. Visual alerts will signify when a contemplated route takes vessels through potentially unsafe zones.
