As global shipping faces increasing pressure to cut emissions, manage costs, and stay compliant with evolving regulations, the need for smarter, data-driven voyage decisions has never been greater.
To meet this challenge, Infoplaza has launched i-nav — a powerful new platform that combines AI-powered voyage optimization, automated vessel reporting, Infoplaza metocean intelligence, and built-in compliance in one integrated solution.
From forecast to full control
For more than 15 years, Infoplaza has delivered accurate and reliable marine weather forecasts to the global maritime and offshore industry. With i-nav, that expertise now extends from forecasting to full voyage optimisation and reporting, giving operators a complete picture — from planning to proof.
By merging world-class weather data, intelligent routing, and regulatory tooling, i-nav transforms voyage planning from reactive to predictive, helping operators reduce fuel use, cut CO2 emissions, and document performance across every leg of the journey.
AI routing powered by T.VOS
At the heart of i-nav lies T.VOS, the maritime industry’s first commercially available multi-objective voyage optimisation engine. Developed by Theyr, in collaboration with The Alan Turing Institute and the University of Southampton, this breakthrough technology represents the next generation of routing intelligence.
With each computation, T.VOS evaluates around 400,000 voyages simultaneously to determine the most efficient, safe, and compliant routes. Unlike traditional routing that focuses on a single goal, T.VOS balances multiple objectives in one calculation:
Fuel savings - CO2 emissions reduction - Just-In-Time Arrival (JITA) - Safety - Charter Party compliance
This multi-objective approach allows operators to align commercial performance with sustainability targets — selecting the best route based on real-time conditions and priorities.
Infoplaza weather: the foundation for accuracy
Behind every i-nav optimization is Infoplaza’s proprietary marine weather system, built to provide the most reliable input data possible. The platform blends multiple global forecast models through smart weighting algorithms, updated four times per day, and validated continuously across thousands of ocean locations.
With high-resolution coverage in coastal and offshore zones and over 50 atmospheric and oceanic parameters, users gain the detail and confidence needed to plan routes safely and efficiently — even in remote or fast-changing regions.
Event-based reporting by Proseadure
i-nav’s compliance and reporting capabilities are powered by Proseadure, a leading provider of maritime data and regulatory tooling.
Replacing outdated noon reports, the system captures operational data based on real events such as:
-
Start/End of Sea Passage (SOSP/EOSP)
-
Manoeuvring, drifting, and anchoring
-
Cargo and bunker activities
-
Special operations
Collected data includes navigation, engine performance, weather observations, and fuel consumption, all validated for accuracy and consistency.
Integrated modules automatically generate reports for CII, MRV, and EU ETS, ensuring full regulatory readiness without manual effort.
The Charter Party module enables operators to monitor vessel performance against contractual agreements, receive alerts on deviations, and generate post-voyage analytics for claims or audits.
Proven benefits
i-nav gives maritime and offshore operators a unified platform that delivers tangible results:
-
Up to 10% fuel savings compared to traditional routing
-
Full CII, MRV, and EU ETS compliance
-
Improved operational safety and predictability
-
Seamless data integration across weather, performance, and reporting
A collaboration of industry leaders
The development of i-nav brings together three trusted names in maritime technology:
Infoplaza – leading marine forecasting and data intelligence provider
Theyr – developer of T.VOS, the first multi-objective voyage optimisation engine
Proseadure – specialist in automated vessel reporting and compliance
Together, they deliver a solution that bridges forecasting, routing, and regulation — setting a new standard for voyage optimisation.
The result: smarter routing decisions, better fuel efficiency, and full readiness for modern environmental and commercial demands.
