Description

Select any maritime location for your calculations, whether it be from port to port, point to port, or point to point. The system includes a comprehensive database that features ports, blocks, and offshore installations, allowing for the exploration of various scenarios such as opening or closing critical channels like Suez, Panama, or Kiel, as well as important passages including the Northeast and Northwest. Navigation can be optimized by steering clear of shallow channels, avoiding adverse weather conditions, or tailoring routes according to the type of vessel in use, all while employing custom polygons that the routing algorithm will take into account to avoid. Users can enhance their voyage planning by establishing routing waypoints during the journey or by organizing multiple legs for their trips. The platform incorporates a total of nine Emission Control Areas (ECA) around the world, ensuring that navigation minimizes distance traveled within these zones. It also carefully considers both the High-Risk Area and areas listed by the Joint War Committee, ensuring that potential threats are avoided. Additionally, users can save time and enhance efficiency by storing frequently accessed locations or waypoints as points of interest in the system. The platform boasts a community of over 12,000 maritime professionals who have registered globally, highlighting its widespread utilization and reliability in the industry.

Description

SONATA is equipped with advanced optimization algorithms designed to significantly decrease the planning time for large vessels (20,000 TEUs) navigating multiple ports. This reduction sees planning time decrease from 16 hours to just 40 minutes, while a plan for a single port can be generated in under 15 minutes, offering unparalleled productivity and facilitating streamlined information sharing. As a result, vessels can turn around more quickly, leading to substantial cost savings. The system ensures that stowage plans are not only efficient but also prioritize safety and reliability, maintaining stability in both stress and lashing force conditions for various types of voyages. Additionally, SONATA enhances the planning process by providing multiple cargo views that improve visibility and allow for flexible planning and un-planning of cargo. By eliminating issues such as container over-stows, excessive stresses on vessels, and lashing errors, SONATA optimizes the entire logistics operation, ultimately contributing to a more effective shipping process.
