Voyage Optimiser is a voyage planning and optimisation tool that helps operators create more efficient voyage plans using weather information, safety parameters and operational requirements. By combining route optimisation, voyage monitoring and performance analysis, it supports better operational decisions before, during and after a voyage.
Voyage Optimiser is especially relevant when you want to improve vessel performance while vessels remain in operation. It can help identify opportunities to reduce fuel consumption, improve voyage efficiency, support compliance and make more informed operational decisions without waiting for a maintenance stop or dry dock.
What it is
Voyage Optimiser is a voyage planning and optimisation tool within Wärtsilä's Fleet Optimisation Solution (FOS). It uses weather data, safety parameters and operational requirements to support route planning, voyage monitoring and voyage performance improvement.
Why it matters
How it works
The tool combines weather information, safety considerations and operational priorities to generate voyage plans, monitor voyage progress and analyse voyage performance. Route suggestions and calculations are based on real-time data and advanced optimisation algorithms.
Where it applies
Voyage Optimiser is particularly relevant for fleet performance managers, operations teams, vessel operators and voyage planners looking to improve fuel efficiency, voyage performance and operational decision-making.
The Voyage Optimiser tool uses weather data, safety parameters and your commercial efficiency considerations to plan the most optimised voyage and route for your vessel. This web-based tool is easy to use, and it will take the guesswork out of route planning.
Adopt the Voyage Optimiser tool and you will have the ideal position to make informed decisions on the upcoming voyage. It uses advanced algorithms to optimise the vessel’s route and fuel consumption. It will also monitor the progress of the voyage against the plan.

Weather routing. The Voyage Optimiser tool will plan the optimal route while considering no-go areas and ECAs, ECO speed, fixed speed instructions, or the need to optimise for JIT.
Integration. The Voyage Optimiser tool can be integrated with your existing systems and platforms. Its seamless integration capabilities make it easy to bring into use.
Accurate data. Because the tool uses reliable, real-time weather information and safety parameters, it can make an accurate and optimised voyage plan.
Easy to use. Because the Voyage Optimiser tool is intuitive and easy to use, the user can concentrate on the more important task – navigating the vessel.
Compatible. The tool is compatible with a wide range of vessels and it adapts to a variety of shipping operations. That is why most vessels and fleets will find it optimally suited to their purposes.
Cyber secure. The tool meets data privacy and protection requirements. It has robust security measures built in to ensure that your data stays confidential and in your control.
The Voyage Optimiser tool is an optional feature of our Fleet Optimisation Solution (FOS).
