The hidden costs – what a weather forecast can’t tell you.

Management and vessel fatigue, missed commercial opportunities and contractual penalties are just some of the hidden costs of an ineffective weather service. Having a team of meteorological experts behind you when you need it can minimise these costs and free up valuable time for your Master and shore-based teams whilst ensuring each passage is done safely and within contractual parameters according to specific legs of the voyage.

Our weather & efficiency service combines advanced marine meteorological forecasting with our 24/7, intelligence-led, vessel tracking services in order to deliver both commercial, safety and compliance benefits.

FAQ

What do you mean by Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)?

MDA is about knowing the environment, from the daily and routine patterns of life to the threats that exist in any given area. It’s about knowing what to expect in an area of maritime operations and being able to distinguish the normal from the abnormal.

How have you helped shipping clients increase their profits?

Clients of Dryad regularly commission us to assess the level of risk in ports prior to fixing cargoes. Some of these ports have been avoided by others because of inflated concerns regarding risk. Our assessments have enabled our clients to trade safely when others have not, allowing them to gain competitive advantage. Examples: Libya, Syria, Crimea, Yemen, Puntland.

How do you save clients’ money and keep them safe through voyage management?

Dryad’s weather & efficiency service helps our clients to plan the optimum route for their vessels, avoiding severe weather and taking advantage of favourable weather and ocean currents to minimize energy consumption and aid efficiency. The risk of severe weather, such as tropical storms, the presence of ice and other hazards can present risks that can be avoided when our voyage planners and vessel monitors are engaged.

Why do Super Yachts need your services, are they not fast and often protected?

Super Yachts are often the platform of choice for high net worth individuals and their travels to exotic destinations. Whilst many are supported by enhanced security, such professionals need to understand the threat environment, not just en route to their destination, but beyond the boundaries of the marinas. Indigenous crime, terrorism and unrest can all impact upon personal security, so risk assessments detailing all of these are often requested by this sector of the maritime industry.
