The master is routinely making decisions on which the weather has significant impact. It therefore makes sense for the vessel to have easy access to the best weather data available, in near real time. With this in mind AWT has developed the BonVoyage System, a combination of software and data. BonVoyage is a user-friendly icon-driven graphical marine weather briefing system.

By using real-time weather data to generate color-coded graphics, the software lets the user see into the heart of severe weather systems. This provides a much more complete picture of the storm than traditional text-based weather bulletins or radio facsimiles, because it captures the detailed shape of each storm system and visually displays dangerous wave generating areas.

Overlaying the vessels intended route is very easy, as is zooming, printing and a host of other features. BonVoyage will even suggest a route for you based on the prospective weather conditions.

In house developed high performance compression technology ensures that 10 days data can inexpensively be transmitted to the vessel.

The bottom line is that BonVoyage will help improve the economical management of your vessel. So why not see it in action, contact us for a free trial.
