Nautilus Labs has enhanced its machine learning-based vessel performance optimisation software to become dynamically route-specific.
The artificial intelligence-driven ship performance firm said its new Route Optimization product shifts a static approach to setting routes — by deciding ship speed and then just avoiding bad weather — to constantly recalculating the most economically efficient way to proceed.
“It is crucial to take commercial factors into consideration, and then constantly optimise a route in real time from port to port,” said chief executive Matt Heider.
