Weilbach Optimizer, powered by Optimum Voyage

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Weilbach Optimizer, an innovative solution that brings voyage optimization technology directly into the Weilbach platform. Developed by Optimum Voyage, this cutting-edge technology combines more than 270 years of maritime experience with advanced weather routing and optimization tools.

Weilbach Optimizer seamlessly integrates with routes created in Weilbach Viewer, analyzing vessel-specific performance alongside high-resolution weather forecasts, currents, and other data. By evaluating millions of route variations, the system generates practical options that reduce fuel consumption, minimize heavy-weather exposure, and improve ETA reliability. Crucially, the final decision remains with the crew, ensuring that the technology supports and enhances their expertise.

"Weilbach Optimizer represents a powerful synergy between Weilbach's navigation solutions and our optimization technology," notes Martin Hjorth Simonsen, CEO of Optimum Voyage. "Our engine powers more than 700 vessels every day, and now, with Weilbach Optimizer, these advanced capabilities are readily available to users onboard."

Daniel Friis, CCO of Weilbach A/S, adds, "Having the opportunity to incorporate this exceptional optimization technology into our offering is a true honor. With over 50 shipowners already benefiting from the technology worldwide, we are excited to bring Weilbach Optimizer to the market."

Experience the future of maritime optimization at SMM Hamburg 2026, where Weilbach Optimizer will be on display at the Weilbach stand (Hall B1 ground floor, Stand 301) from September 1-4. Expect to see familiar faces from Optimum Voyage, including Martin and Thor, who will be present on Tuesday and Wednesday. Together, Weilbach and Optimum Voyage are looking forward to shaping the future of the maritime industry.
