The Challenges
Voyage planning is a complicated process that requires consideration of many factors. In order to determine the best route from berth to berth and the safety and feasibility of a maritime journey, mariners must gather and consider several pieces of information.
Consolidating this data and what information is relevant is a
time-consuming process. To make matters more complicated, maritime publications, including charts and regulations are constantly updated.
After disparate maritime data has been gathered on elements like navigation, weather, environmental zones and ports, each variable must be considered in context to other variables and the journey as a whole. Without a solution that combines all of this data onto one display, navigational officers must go back and forth between these different data sources, slowly narrowing down the best route.

Introducing Voyage Planner
OneOcean’s Voyage Planner quickly plots automatic routes between destinations – both ports and anchorage points. Users simply enter their voyage details as well as their vessel parameters, safety thresholds and information on vessel manoeuvrability – the solution does the rest. A route is generated automatically and displayed on the screen along with a detailed, editable waypoints table.

Information in One Place
All the information required in a comprehensive Passage Plan is presented on one screen. Users can select and deselect layers of information, including ENC data, weather, environmental zones, NavArea warnings, piracy risks, and ports. The display also dynamically updates with more information as the user zooms in, providing just the right amount of detail.

Detailed Event Timelines
Voyage Planner allows you to create Event Waypoints that can be used to add safety, compliance and operational events to the waypoints sheet. Examples include fuel changes, crew shifts and reminders to call port authorities. This provides one consolidated view of all events that must take place as the journey progresses to maintain efficiency, safety and compliance.

Route Optimisation
Drawing on information on the route, vessel and forecasted weather of a journey, Voyage Planner can optimise routes for time, cost and fuel. Each of these routes can be compared and further modified to suit your needs.

Dynamic Passage Plans
Once plans are finalised and ready for use, passage plans can be generated, reviewed and approved directly in the platform. Each section of the passage plan can then be further edited and regenerated at any time to ensure that the document always reflects the latest plan.
