Now combining satellite weather forecasts and AI-driven travel optimization, the Syroco EfficientShip platform allows its users to optimize their routes, thereby reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions from ships.
Syroco is a Climate Tech start-up based in Marseille that supports the energy transition of maritime transport by providing fleet owners and operators with a platform to assess and improve the efficiency and environmental impact of ships. Syroco today announces partnerships : on the one hand with Spire, a global data provider, space analyzes and services, and on the other hand with Theyr, a technology company specializing in AI travel optimization solutions. Theyr makes its cutting-edge algorithms available to the Syroco EfficientShip platform, and Speyer provides its meteorological-oceanic data (weather and sea conditions) high precision. Taking advantage of these embedded technologies, the Syroco platform calculates optimized routes that reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while taking into account constraints such as expected time of arrival.
Satellite weather data
With the world's largest constellation of over 100 multi-purpose satellites using radio occultation technology, Spire captures precise atmospheric measurements and provides high-quality weather data to improve forecast accuracy. Spire has revolutionized the way weather information is collected, providing high-quality observations and forecasts of weather-ocean data.
Weather routing based on neural networks
Theyr Route Optimization is the first AI-driven multi-objective engine for the shipping industry, capable of optimizing routes simultaneously according to objectives including time, fuel and emissions. Using high fidelity weather-ocean data, the solution's algorithms are the result of a decade of academic research and development carried out by the AI team at the University of Southampton and the Alan Turing Institute. Theyr's solution features a unique modular design allowing integration into third-party software.
