VesselFront receives Bureau Veritas Type approval for its VesselFront.AI Weather-Routing software

VesselFront, a maritime software company based in Piraeus, announces that its Vesselfront.AI software has received Type Approval from the international classification society Bureau Veritas.

The approval certifies the software’s capabilities in fuel consumption calculation, emissions forecasting and support weather routing decisions. Vessels running the software can be assigned the additional class notation SMART EnE3-Em-W (rule note NR675) which .The approval is valid until March 2031 and each installation is surveyed by a Bureau Veritas representative as part of assigning the SMART EnE3-Em-W notation to the vessel. In parallel, the classification society has certified VesselFront’s quality management system in Piraeus (BV Mode II, NR320).

Vesselfront.AI is a weather-routing system for commercial fleets. It accounts for the applicable regulatory framework and the operational voyage plan and, with safety of navigation as the primary criterion, determines the optimal route for each voyage. Specialised agents continuously assess weather, fuel oil consumption, compliance with environmental regulations and the vessel’s exposure to adverse sea conditions. Every recommendation is explained leg by leg, so that the master and the ship’s management can verify the reasoning behind it.
