Full collaboration between ship and shore with Wayfinder Explore

Sofar Ocean

Wayfinder Explore now gives ship and shoreside teams clearer transparency with route sharing and a decision history across the entire voyage. Route sharing allows you to share any route by link with anyone on your team, from the captain to the routing desk to operations, to compare the economic and safety tradeoffs between options. And with Route Replay, teams can review the fuel, time, and cost behind every decision after the fact.

Why it matters

With self-service optimization in Wayfinder Explore, teams can generate optimized routes with a single click. They can also edit routes and upload their own. Captains and shoreside teams see each route decision, proposed alternatives, and potential economic gains, providing clear collaboration.

Route sharing

Share any route, or a set of route options, by link with anyone on your team, from the captain to the routing desk to operations. Everyone sees the same route, weather, and economics, so decisions start from the same picture. The recipient can view, compare, and activate routes.

Route Replay

Explore saves the forecast used and the fuel, time, and cost of every option considered. At the end of every voyage, see savings per voyage, per vessel, and across the fleet, with fuel and time gains attributed to the routes actually taken. You can review these later with your captain or team, allowing you to evaluate and understand what could be done differently.

What this means for your operation

  • Clear collaboration. Captains, routing desks, and operations see the same route, weather, and fuel, time, and cost.
  • Full economic and weather context behind every decision. Explore saves the forecast and the fuel, time, and cost of every option considered.
  • Trackable savings. Fuel and time gains are tracked per voyage, per vessel, and across the fleet.
