Built to be trusted

VesselFront's Weather Routing and Voyage Planning platform pairs purpose-built neurosymbolic AI with rigorous maritime engineering. It is trained on proprietary live-voyage data spanning diverse fleets, vessel types, and trade lanes and refined alongside the operators who run them. Every completed voyage becomes ground truth for the next.

Connected
Live fleet visibility through AIS, noon reports, and onboard telemetry ingested into a single operational view.
Explainable
Executive summaries, emissions reports, and route events you can query in natural language, with notifications and calendar integration.
Accurate
Maritime knowledge and neural networks combined for fast, accurate route options. Follow global best practice or impose your own operational and commercial constraints.
Certified
SMART EnE3-Em-W certified by Bureau Veritas, 2026. Charter-party compliance and performance monitoring, with a segment-by-segment Route Analyzer for customized reports.

VFWR: Charting the Optimal Voyage

Karampasi · Kouvaras · Stavropoulos · Artikis

VFWR (VesselFront Weather Routing) is an optimization framework for ship weather routing with a weather-aware heuristic incorporating real-time forecast, wave height threshold, maximum latitude constraint, no-go areas, and minimization of the duration of time within emission control area (ECA). VFWR is validated against a dataset of 100 historical voyages using hindcast weather data, consistently producing shorter distances and durations than real-world trips across all tested voyages.
