Route planning and optimisation involve juggling safety, efficiency, navigation, costs, port rotation, ETAs, speed ranges and additional constraints, such as seakeeping. For ship captains, this is a complex challenge that requires the aid of a decision-supporting tool to give them confidence in their decisions and support execution. We developed SPOS (Ship Performance Optimisation System) to address these challenges.

This online training will make sure you become a weather routing expert. It consists of the following modules:

1. Introduction of SPOS.
2. Introduction to meteorology.
3. Weather in SPOS.
4. Preparation of routing.
5. Routing.
6. Interactive assignments in SPOS.
