AWT Weather Routing/Routeing: Applied Weather Technology

BonVoyage System and Ship Routing Services Combined

One Package Maximizing Voyage Safety and Efficiency

The combination of BonVoyage System (BVS) and AWT’s ship routing services provides you the best value for your money. In recent years, the Captain’s duties have become more and more complex with new regulations, security concerns and voluminous paperwork. This gives them less opportunity to allocate enough time to thoroughly evaluate all routing options and come up with the optimum route. And with the high price of fuel today, every extra hour at sea can be very costly. AWT’s team of Fleet Optimization Experts spend 24/7 evaluating all the complex variables that go into selecting a route, and they can give the Captain expert advice to ensure a safe and efficient voyage along with the tools to manage your fleet effectively.
