The BonVoyage System, a leading optimization software tool in the shipping industry, is installed on 6,000+ vessels worldwide.
In this seminar, BVS users will learn the most advanced features and functions the system has to offer. Focusing on the various route optimization techniques, we will go through how StormGeo experts calculate the optimum route and how we communicate externally via FleetDSS.
