Sofar Ocean will see Berge adopt Sofar’s Wayfinder platform across its fleet of owned vessels, including new vessels equipped with wind propulsion technology on path to decarbonization.
Berge Bulk said it has entered the second phase of its ambitious plans, applying new technology. In the past year, Berge Bulk has equipped two ships – Newcastlemax vessel Berge Olympus and Valemax carrier Berge Neblina – with wind propulsion technology.
The adoption of Wayfinder is the latest in a series of decarbonisation initiatives aimed at achieving zero scope 1 emissions fleetwide by 2050.
Wayfinder provides dynamic route and rpm guidance that accounts for variations in weather, market and vessel performance using Sofar’s weather forecasts, powered by its proprietary global ocean sensor network. These data-driven weather models greatly reduce forecast uncertainty and increase vessel performance model accuracy.
