Optimal Speed Routing stands at the crossroads of traditional navigation and cutting-edge technology. It goes beyond the conventional concept of the shortest route, instead focusing on determining the most suitable vessel speed and route to maximize efficiency. This approach considers dynamic variables, such as weather conditions, fuel prices, and traffic patterns, offering a refined formula to significantly reduce voyage durations, fuel consumption, and operational costs.
The business case is clear: ships can reduce fuel consumption and resulting carbon dioxide emissions by 10% to 50% per-voyage by optimizing vessel speed, according to a recent analysis by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Green Voyage 2050. The stat is impressive, but how can the industry make this a reality?
Finding the delicate equilibrium between efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility in maritime logistics is a constant endeavor — and Optimal Speed Routing by DTN® is an important part of the puzzle to get the balance right.
