Athens, 12.03.2025 - StormGeo, a global leader in voyage optimization and weather intelligence solutions, is proud to announce that it has received the prestigious 2025 Technology Award from Safety4Sea for its groundbreaking Strategic Power Routing solution. This accomplishment recognizes StormGeo’s commitment to advancing sustainable maritime operations while enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Strategic Power Routing represents a significant innovation in the maritime industry, offering a transformative approach to fuel consumption optimization. Developed in close collaboration with industry stakeholders, this solution enables vessels to operate at a constant power level, mitigating the impact of adverse weather conditions on fuel efficiency. By stabilizing revolutions per minute (RPM) and adjusting for potential speed losses, Strategic Power Routing helps shipping companies optimize energy use while ensuring on-time arrivals and maintaining operational efficiency.
''At StormGeo, we have always believed that innovation and responsibility must go hand in hand. With over 25 years of expertise in voyage optimization, our mission has been clear - to help the shipping industry reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and operate more efficiently'' said Nikos Mazarakis, Office Manager and Solutions Sales Manager StormGeo. ''Today, that mission has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of Strategic Power Routing.''
As Christos Nikolaou, Head of Sales, South Europe at StormGeo, added, ''What truly sets StormGeo apart from other technology providers is our people. For over 25 years, we have built a strong team of highly experienced route analysts, meteorologists, seafarers, and scientists. Human interaction is the key to our success. We are not just a software provider - we are a partner. Our mission is to ensure that neither the crew nor office personnel are burdened with additional workload. Optimization is our responsibility!''
Since its launch in January 2023, Strategic Power Routing has delivered significant results, with shipping companies reporting fuel savings of up to 3% per voyage. Some vessels have achieved even greater reductions when maintaining a constant power level throughout their journey. A case study from a large client operating combination carrier vessels of 70,000-82,000 dwt over a 10-month period (January to November 2024) showed an impressive average fuel savings of 6.37%, with some voyages reaching fuel savings as high as 13.56%. This kind of measurable improvement demonstrates not only the efficacy of Strategic Power Routing but also its scalability across different vessel types and operational conditions.
The Safety4Sea Technology Award is a testament to StormGeo’s long-standing dedication to innovation in maritime technology. As the industry moves towards a greener future, solutions like Strategic Power Routing play a crucial role in achieving both regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
