Onego Shipping & Chartering: Navigating Success with StormGeo’s Integrated Solutions

A Partnership Built on Trust and Reliability

For nearly two decades, Onego Shipping & Chartering has navigated the complexities of global 
trade, ensuring that vessels reach their destinations safely and efficiently. However, optimizing 
routes across the Atlantic, mitigating risks, and keeping up with ever-evolving environmental 
regulations presented significant challenges. That’s when Onego turned to StormGeo.

The partnership began around 2006, with Onego first adopting StormGeo’s weather routing 
services. The need was clear: to optimize routing decisions with precise weather data, ensuring 
captains had the right information at the right time.

Over the years, as industry regulations became more stringent and operational efficiency became a growing priority, Onego expanded its use of StormGeo’s solutions, integrating voyage optimization, s-Insight Environmental Performance, and RAS into its operations.

Prioritizing Safety, Efficiency, and Compliance

At the heart of Onego’s decision was safety; of the crew, the vessel, and the cargo. StormGeo’s 
advanced routing technology provided captains with real-time updates on weather conditions, 
waves, and wind, allowing them to make informed navigational choices.
"We were satisfied with the weather routing initially, as it was reliable and cost-effective," recalls 
Alexander Psenay-Severin, Managing Director at Onego. "We added the other solutions based on 
the value and efficiency we received from the weather routing services, as we trust StormGeo."        

Additionally, the growing emphasis on fuel efficiency and sustainability in the market, meant that
Onego needed a solution that would also help optimize routes while reducing costs and emissions.
StormGeo’s voyage optimization tools played a pivotal role in achieving these goals, ensuring 
vessels took the most fuel-efficient paths without compromising safety.

Seamless Integration for Maximum Impact

The transition to StormGeo’s expanded suite of solutions was smooth. StormGeo’s platform 
complemented Onego’s existing systems, and the RAS team, along with the Fleet Performance 
Center, played a crucial role in ensuring seamless implementation.

"StormGeo entered all the machine information and structural characteristics of each ship into s-Insight individually to achieve the most accurate emission calculations. Since the upgrade, 
StormGeo has provided several training courses and has always responded promptly whenever the client needs training or assistance," says Yunus Kaya, Sales Manager at StormGeo.

By leveraging real-time insights and automated data tracking, Onego experiences immediate 
benefits. Routes have become more efficient, fuel consumption decreased, and operational costs are 
optimized; all while ensuring vessels stay on schedule.

Meeting Regulatory Challenges with s-Insight Environmental Performance

Efficiency isn't the only gain. With increasing regulatory pressure from measures like MRV, DCS, 
CII, EU ETS, and Fuel EU compliance, environmental compliance became a key focus. StormGeo’s 
s-Insight Environmental Performance allows Onego to automate data tracking, reducing the need 
for manual monitoring and ensuring compliance with evolving environmental standards.

Captains and operators can easily extract emissions data, monitor CII ratings, and generate 
reports for charters. This proactive approach eliminates potential compliance risks and helps 
Onego limit EU ETS costs and Fuel EU penalties.

"We provide daily performance alerts and data quality insights," explains Kaya."We are in constant communication with Onego to address any specific needs or criteria in their calculations. Having all their data in one place has significantly reduced their manual workload, while also providing the highest level of accuracy." He adds.

Maximizing Operational and Environmental Performance

Through the use of StormGeo’s technology, Onego not only optimizes voyage routes but also takes a 
proactive approach to environmental responsibility. Fuel savings directly translated into lower 
emissions, helping Onego align with international sustainability goals.

"The ability to preemptively monitor fuel consumption and emissions also means we can 
implement corrective measures before regulatory thresholds are exceeded. Having access to 
accurate data in real time enables smarter decision-making across the fleet," says Alexander 
Psenay-Severin, Managing Director at Onego.

A Future-Ready Approach to Maritime Excellence

StormGeo’s all-in-one approach distinguishes itself from other solutions in the market. By using a 
single data source for routing, compliance tracking, and performance analytics, Onego benefits 
from a streamlined process that improved decision-making across its fleet.

Weather data, stakeholder connectivity, and operational insights have become more accessible than ever. Looking ahead, the partnership continues to evolve. StormGeo remains committed to staying 
ahead of industry regulations, constantly updating its solutions to reflect new challenges and 
opportunities.
"We continuously upgrade and refine our platform, ensuring companies like Onego are prepared for 
upcoming regulatory shifts," says Kaya. "Together, we brainstorm, exchange feedback, and develop roadmaps that align with both operational efficiency and sustainability goals," he adds.

Stronger Together: A Partnership for Long-Term Success

For Onego, the collaboration with StormGeo has proven invaluable. What began as a need for 
reliable weather routing has transformed into a strategic advantage, one that ensures safer 
voyages, optimized costs, and a future-ready approach to environmental compliance.
As the maritime industry continues to shift, Onego can navigate with confidence, knowing they 
have the right technology and expertise guiding them forward.
