2016 Dec – Safety4Sea – Come rain or shine: weather routing for the shipping industry
Lennart Cederberg, Head of GAC-SMHI Weather Solutions, explains the importance of weather routing information which is being shared between vessels to reduce the chances of collisions, near misses, congestion and delays. It also gives operators the opportunity to consider the best options to meet deadlines, control costs, optimise fuel efficiency, and accurately plan arrivals and departures. It’s more than a consultative service, it’s predictive, he says.
