3. Weather Limits
First and foremost, our priority will always be to keep vessel and crew safe when we provide a routing service. The following standard weather limits are used (but can be changed either on customer and voyage specific level). The standard weather limits are not strict limits and the Shipping Operations team may deviate from the
4. Vessel Models
DTN collaborated with MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands) to create vessel models for approximately 50 different vessel (sub) classes. These models include speed loss curves and wind and wave added resistance tables. DTN’s weather optimized routing algorithm uses these models to predict speed loss under the influence of wind and waves. Additionally, clients can provide

My DPI shows that there is no data available. How is this possible?
For a realistic analysis, we need at least 24 hours of Good Weather. Parallel to that, we also need at least 2 consecutive noon reports as input for analysis.
What Service Level Agreement’s can I expect?
The following SLAs apply to the RouteGuard services: Reply within 2 hours at incoming email (requests) Initial Route Advice is delivered 8 to 12 hours before the voyage is due to start. The respective ETD is provided by whoever orders the Route Advice (for example, operator) but checked with Master. Route Advice update is delivered within
What reporting formats are supported by DTN?
At DTN we use the DTN EasyNoon. DTN will configure the EasyNoon at confirmation of the voyage request and facilitates the delivery by email to the vessel. We can configure reporting data with the option to leave out unnecessary parameters. Other reporting formats can be supported by mutual agreement.
Can the noon reporting be configured if the DTN EasyNoon (html) tool is being used?
Yes. There is a minimum required set of data needed for routing service. On top of that we can configure remaining fields to be visible or not for the master based on customer preferences. This way we can prevent unnecessary administration and provide a clear overview of what data needs to be reported.
