Compatible with s-Planner | Charts for Navigational Compliance

BVS can be used as a stand-alone product or as an advanced weather and route optimization module for s-Planner | Charts.

BVS provides quite accurate forecasts which reflect the conditions we actually encounter with user-friendly software. I would easily give StormGeo's BVS a 5 out of 5. I suspect many frequent users would say the same.

Surface Currents coupled with tidal forecast

Our in-house tidal current velocity model merges with the global tide data, resulting in highly accurate information on tides and large-scale ocean circulation.

Ship-to-shore route and data exchange

Combined with StormGeo’s s-Insight, BVS sets up a valuable communication protocol between a vessel and the shore-based manager, allowing for the display of the current route track as well as the route planned in BVS.

Routes and position reports are displayed in our shore-based s-Insight. Masters can receive and import our recommended track directly into BVS.
