Save on fuel, time, and emission in each voyage by using the most accurate marine weather forecast and vessel performance model available.
Wayfinder is the only voyage optimization platform built on its own ocean sensor network, with forecasts built from real-time, in-the-water measurements that are 50% more accurate than competing models.
Edit routes and see the costimpact of each change immediately, with full ship- and shore-based transparency so both teams view the same data. Daily email guidance keeps routing support available regardless of connectivity.
Wayfinder builds a digital twin of your vessel. It retrains on your ship's daily noon reports, so the model tracks how the vessel is actually performing throughout the voyage. Sofar’s vessel performance model predicts fuel within 2% MT and speed within 0.5 kt.

Every noon
Sofar owns and operates the world's largest private network of ocean sensors , feeding millions of real-time observations into forecasts every day. These observations build directly into our forecast which is up to 50 percent more accurate than other leading models.
Only Wayfinder lets you change route geometry and engine settings on any segment of a route, re-simulating against live weather and the digital twin after every edit and quantifying the cost, time, and fuel impact of every decision. No other platform does this.
Wayfinder tells you when a vessel goes off track, rejects a route, is heading into a tropical storm, high wind, or high waves. Users choose the vessels, alert types, and thresholds.
Users can send a route, or a set of route options, by link to any other Wayfinder user. The recipient can view, compare, and activate routes for optimal transparency across teams.
See realized savings per voyage, per vessel, and across the fleet, with fuel and time gains attributed to the routes actually taken. At the end of every voyage, Wayfinder measures achieved speed and consumption against the terms of your charter party.
Route with a team of former captains, oceanographers, and meteorologists behind every voyage. Sofar Ocean's routing team reviews the full voyage, from safety and efficiency to schedule pressure and regional disruptions, and delivers optimized guidance to your bridge every day.
Example email providing guidance from Sofar's routing team.
Wayfinder dashboard featuring the intelligent “Optimize” button that will automatically select the best route for your team.
Self-service puts voyage optimization in your team's hands. With one click, captains and shoreside can generate a route that maximizes efficiency while meeting your required arrival time, and share it between ship and shore.
Every charter structure changes what you control and what you're still accountable for.
Optimization only works if the ship accepts guidance. You control the routing. The open question is whether the bridge agrees with the plan.
Onboard a chartered vessel in under an hour. Short fixtures don't leave room for a calibration period.
See the ships you don't route. Someone else controls the routing. The performance risk and the claims are still yours.
Coverage everywhere, optimization where it counts. Most fleets are all three at once.
