Voyage Optimization Analyst

About The Role

Voyage Optimisation Analyst

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor, analyze, and optimize vessel voyages for fuel efficiency, ETA accuracy, and safe routing.
• Evaluate weather forecasts, metocean data, and vessel performance indicators to recommend optimal voyage plans.
• Track key KPIs including speed loss, fuel consumption, engine load, CII rating, and trim optimization.
• Perform pre-voyage, mid-voyage, and post-voyage analysis using AIS, noon reports, and sensor data.
• Assess risks related to weather, piracy zones, currents, and routing compliance.
• Prepare regular reports on voyage performance, deviations, and fuel efficiency improvements.
• Work with voyage optimization software and marine analytics platforms (e.g., StormGeo, DNV, Veson, Navis).
• Support decision-making for route changes, speed adjustments, and operational recommendations.
• Collaborate with fleet operations, masters, and technical teams to ensure alignment with voyage plans.
• Contribute to emission reduction efforts aligned with IMO regulations (CII, EEXI, MRV, EU ETS).
