Sofar Ocean Remote / Digital Service
Wayfinder Guidance
Human-reviewed daily route and speed guidance delivered to the bridge by Sofar’s routing team, built on Wayfinder Core optimization.
Description
Wayfinder Guidance is a human-in-the-loop voyage routing service. Wayfinder generates optimized routes daily, and a Sofar router reviews each one against fleet safety limits, schedule and regional conditions before sending it to the vessel. The routing team includes former deck officers, marine engineers, meteorologists and oceanographers, and a 24/7 expert routing and meteorological team is included.
Key features
- Route updates sent at 09:00 local time by email and in the app, so guidance reaches vessels regardless of connectivity
- Captains accept or reject routes, with decisions logged for ship-shore transparency
- Post-voyage End of Voyage, Charter Party and Wind Assisted Propulsion reports
- The site states some fleets accept more than 90% of Guidance routes
Applications
Fleets that want daily weather routing and speed guidance reviewed by experienced routers rather than fully self-service optimization.
