What is voyage planning and how does it work?

You’ve googled ‘what is a voyage planner’ and ‘how do you use voyage planning software’ but you’re still unsure where to start, and how it will implement into your systems.

We’re here to help you navigate and explore all you need to know.

Voyage Passage planning (or as we’ve named it, ‘PassagePlanner’) is an effective software programme that enables mariners to access relevant, up-to-date information to navigate routes and reach destinations safely. The introduction to this intelligent technology allows mariners the peace of mind that their planning and navigation is taken care of. By allowing the passage planning software to guide them throughout the planning and implementing stages of their voyage means mariners have more time to focus on monitoring their route, significantly improving the safety and security of their passage.

We make planning your voyage easy

Having worked on boats our selves, we know how disjointed and complex navigational systems can be. We have married that experience with our software development expertise to create a comprehensive, straight-forward system - Passage Planner.

Our application is designed to retrieve and display all available navigational data in a variety of intuitive ways:

  1. Firstly the data includes ENC charts, navigational warnings, permits, ADP catalogues, mobile drilling rigs, piracy, and weather.
  2. After adding your departure and arrival ports, the system will determine, and automatically plot, suitable routes for you in which you can modify with ease.
  3. Validating and optimising your route against underlying data and clearly defined hazards will ensure its safety and efficiency.
  4. A detailed voyage plan may be generated to include the measures you have taken to plan your route safely, along with any hazards identified by leg. As well as the details of the planning and approval checklists you have completed and a more complete set of under keel and squat calculations.
  5. The simple and perceptive design allows you to create multiple additional routes quickly and thoroughly, to ensure you're ready for any eventuality.
Voyage Planning

Can it be integrated with any vessel?

All you need is a computer with windows 7+ on board (yes it really is that simple). A credible voyage planning software will be able to handle any vessel, from large tankers and container ships to small fishing boats. With a range of functions that enable seafarers to develop efficient routing without being overwhelmed by details –making the visibility of seas and oceans less complicated.
