Which weather parameters are taken into account?

(all SI, all meteo: 0 = from the north except current) 10m Wind speed (m/s) 10m Wind direction degrees Significant wind wave height  m Significant swell wave height  m wind wave direction  degrees swell wave direction  degrees wind wave mean period  (inverse first moment) seconds swell wave mean period. (inverse first moment) seconds total Current

How many years are taken into account for calculations?

DTN Weather Factor uses digital twin models with 20 years of verified weather and ocean data to create numerous voyage simulations, which results in a complete statistical assessment of voyage costs and emissions.

1. Introduction

WeatherFactor is using the Vessel Routing API to calculate routes based on historical analysis weather data. WeatherFactor API estimates the duration and fuel consumption of future voyages, based on historical simulations. It simulates the traders requested voyage using a vessel digital twin model, 20 years of historical analysis weather data. The outcome includes statistical confidence
