About the client

Stena Line is one of the world's largest ferry operators, managing 38 vessels across 18 routes, and orchestrating 26,000 sailings. This significant operational scope presents unique challenges in operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
01

The Challenge

Stena Line, a major ferry operator, needed to cut CO2 emissions by 5% but didn't have a unified system for high-quality, high resolution weather data across their fleet, impacting efficiencies in fuel consumption and their ability to reduce emissions.

Stena Line partnered with Ciklum to build a cloud-based service designed to provide weather data from diverse sources. This data fed into software which optimized engine power in real-time to cut CO2 emissions and move towards more sustainable shipping.

How We Solved The Problem

Ciklum worked closely with the client to develop a .NET/F# solution, consolidating different data sources using advanced logics. This collaboration produced an Azure cloud-based API and a web application, providing the vessels with real-time weather forecasts. This system ensures access to current, comprehensive weather data for improved route planning and operational efficiency.
