Voyage Optimization Analyst

About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented Voyage Optimisation Analyst to analyse vessel performance optimise voyage planning and support decision-making for efficient and safe maritime operations. The ideal candidate will work closely with fleet operations and data teams to improve fuel efficiency reduce emissions and enhance voyage outcomes using data-driven insights.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor analyze and optimize vessel voyages for fuel efficiency ETA accuracy and safe routing.

• Evaluate weather forecasts metocean data and vessel performance indicators to recommend optimal voyage plans.

• Track key KPIs including speed loss fuel consumption engine load CII rating and trim optimization.

• Perform pre-voyage mid-voyage and post-voyage analysis using AIS noon reports and sensor data.

• Assess risks related to weather piracy zones currents and routing compliance.

• Prepare regular reports on voyage performance deviations and fuel efficiency improvements.

• Work with voyage optimization software and marine analytics platforms (e.g. StormGeo DNV Veson Navis).

• Support decision-making for route changes speed adjustments and operational recommendations.

• Collaborate with fleet operations masters and technical teams to ensure alignment with voyage plans.

• Contribute to emission reduction efforts aligned with IMO regulations (CII EEXI MRV EU ETS).
