StormGeo and Awake.AI join forces to deliver AI-powered port congestion insights

Bergen-based weather intelligence and voyage optimisation specialist, StormGeo, and Finnish artificial intelligence analytics company, Awake.AI, are to collaborate on the provision of advanced port call analytics.

The partnership will improve the accuracy of estimated time-of-arrival predictions on competing vessels and provide more information on port congestion. This aim is to support voyage optimisation by enabling just-in-time arrivals together with fuel and emission savings.

StormGeo vice president of Route Advisory Services, Rolf Reksten, said: “Port congestion and inefficient ship-port interactions contribute significantly to delays, emissions, and operational costs. By teaming up with Awake.AI, we are enhancing our voyage optimisation services by allowing our clients to plan their port calls more accurately and efficiently and ultimately help the industry save fuel and reduce emissions.”

Karno Tenovuo, Awake.AI chief executive, commented: “Awake.AI’s analytics are a natural extension of StormGeo’s voyage optimisation services. Together, we are enabling shipping companies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by making port calls more predictable and efficient – something that positively impacts both the bottom line and the planet.”
