The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding setting out their plans for such new services as post-voyage analysis reporting and weather routing.
“The collaboration makes NAPA’s vessel-specific performance-modeling and weather-routing algorithms available to vast numbers of new users,” said Pekka Pakkanen, NAPA’s director of development. “Transparency and collaboration are a must for truly improving the operational efficiency of shipping, and we believe this partnership is a major milestone in achieving that.”
Among the products and services the companies will work on are a system to allow ship operators to examine alternative fuel-saving routes as well as port-congestion forecasts.
NAPA, headquartered in Finland, said it will provide its detailed ship performance, analytics and naval architecture expertise, including fuel- consumption estimates and weather-routing algorithms. MarineTraffic, based in Greece, will provide ship-tracking data, event algorithms and technical support.
