StormGeo, the leader in weather intelligence, ship routing and fleet performance management solutions, announced today an expanded partnership with Taiwan shipping giant U-Ming Marine.

The new partnership combines U-Ming’s platform with StormGeo’s ship-to-shore fleet and voyage management solutions, FleetDSS and ECO Insight. This move represents a significant first step in U-Ming’s strategy to integrate its entire digital platform, and will apply to 33 of their vessels.

U-Ming and StormGeo already have a strong relationship through the integration of StormGeo’s weather and route optimization software, BonVoyage System (BVS). The integration of FleetDSS and ECO Insight expands U-Ming’s digitization to improve safety, fuel efficiency, compliance and sustainability.
