The most reliable weather and routing intelligence platform for towage, heavy lift, and abnormal marine transports. Navigate weather uncertainty with confidence, even under operational constraints.
Not a generic weather tool. A dedicated operational decision layer designed around the specific constraints of towage and heavy transport, from early planning to live execution.
Ensuring smart & informed decisions.
Safety & efficiency in execution.
Not a generic routing tool. A dedicated weather intelligence layer designed around the specific constraints of towage, heavy lift, and abnormal load operations, from first planning to final arrival.
Tow resistance, sea state effects, and vessel-specific speed curves factored into every routing calculation throughout the voyage.
Weather, current, operational limits, port windows, and cargo motion criteria handled simultaneously, not as a sequence of trade-offs.
Thresholds expressed as exceedance probabilities. Every forecast integrates uncertainty, full traceability for insurance, port authorities, and client records.
Direct access to a dedicated routing expert at any hour, ensuring continuity and accountability throughout the critical phase.
Marine Weather Intelligence enhances safety management by providing personalised alerts on hazardous conditions, delivered clearly, only when relevant, so operations proceed with complete confidence.
Receive alerts by email or directly within the platform. Proximity alerts warn you before dangerous conditions happen.
Operations teams get a live view of every tow in progress with Fleet Center: a consolidated map showing position, routing status, and weather exposure across all active operations.
A centralised overview of every vessel under your responsibility, position, heading, routing status, and last update, all on a single live map with full weather data overlay.
And the most consequential. Every missed window and every suboptimal decision carries a direct operational and financial cost.
Towage and heavy lift operations depend on precise weather windows. A delayed departure triggers day-rate overruns, port congestion, and cascading schedule impacts.
A tow in heavy seas, a counter-current event, or an unexpected frontal passage can place crew, cargo, and third parties at serious risk.
Marine insurers, charterers, and flag authorities increasingly require traceable, expert-backed weather decisions. A verbal briefing is no longer sufficient.
Routing around adverse weather without data costs more than routing through it safely with data. Tow resistance modelling reduces operational cost without compromising safety.
Our routing methodology was built in the world's most demanding offshore races: the Vendée Globe, The Ocean Race, Route du Rhum. Operations where margins are tight, constraints are real, and every forecast decision carries consequences. That same rigour now drives every recommendation we make for towage and heavy lift operations.
Christian Dumard's career spans four Vendée Globe campaigns and complex maritime logistics including oil platform towing and the transport of the James Webb Telescope. Marine Weather Intelligence's AI does not replace this expertise. It makes it available to every operation, at every scale.
MWI Towage & Heavy Lift in a nutshell:
Probabilistic forecasts built into every recommendation, from departure windows to live route adjustments.
Hazard notifications calibrated to your vessel limits, tow configuration, and operational thresholds.
Weather, current, vessel limits, port windows, and cargo motion criteria handled simultaneously.
A dedicated weather expert reachable 24/7 throughout every critical phase of your operation.
Every heavy transport project is unique. Our experts will review your constraints, timeline, and vessel profile, and propose the weather intelligence setup that fits your operation.
