Smart Simulator
Simulate before you sail — every voyage, every scenario, every outcome.
Smart Simulator is a high-fidelity voyage and emissions simulation engine that enables operators to model the operational, financial, and regulatory outcomes of any voyage before a vessel leaves port. By combining vessel-specific performance models with real-time weather forecasts, fuel price data, and regulatory parameters, the simulator produces detailed predictions for fuel consumption, transit time, emissions, CII impact, EU ETS cost, and FuelEU Maritime GHG intensity — all in minutes rather than hours. The platform supports multi-variable scenario analysis, allowing users to explore the impact of changing speed profiles, routing alternatives, fuel types, departure times, and cargo configurations on voyage outcomes. This capability is invaluable for commercial negotiations, where operators can quantify the cost implications of different laycan windows, speed guarantees, or bunker specifications with precision that transforms charterparty discussions from guesswork into data-driven decision-making. Smart Simulator also serves as a strategic fleet planning tool, enabling long-term simulations of fleet decarbonization pathways. Operators can model the impact of vessel retrofits, fleet renewal, alternative fuel transitions, and operational efficiency programs on multi-year CII trajectories, EU ETS costs, and FuelEU Maritime compliance, creating evidence-based business cases for capital investment and fleet strategy decisions.

Key Capabilities
Voyage Scenario Engine
Simulate any voyage with configurable parameters including speed profile, routing, departure date, draft, trim, fuel type, and weather assumptions. The engine produces granular daily breakdowns of fuel consumption, emissions, and costs, with sensitivity analysis showing how each parameter affects the bottom line. Run hundreds of scenarios in minutes to identify optimal configurations.
Emissions Impact Modeling
Every simulation automatically calculates the full regulatory emissions impact including CII rating effect, EU ETS allowance requirements, and FuelEU Maritime GHG intensity contribution. Side-by-side scenario comparison reveals how operational decisions ripple through the compliance landscape, enabling integrated commercial and regulatory planning.
Commercial Voyage Analysis
Model the financial outcomes of voyage fixtures with precision, incorporating fuel costs at current or projected bunkering prices, EUA procurement costs, port charges, and canal transit fees. The platform supports TCP/E calculations, voyage estimate comparisons, and break-even freight rate analysis for informed commercial decision-making.
Fleet Decarbonization Pathway Simulator
Project multi-year fleet emissions trajectories under different decarbonization strategies including speed optimization programs, hull modification retrofits, alternative fuel transitions, and fleet renewal plans. Each pathway is evaluated on total cost, compliance position, and emissions reduction to support board-level investment decisions.
Digital Twin Integration
Simulations leverage vessel-specific digital twin models from Smart Vessel, incorporating actual hull condition data, engine performance curves, and equipment configurations. This ensures simulation accuracy reflects the real-world condition of each vessel, not idealized design specifications, producing results that operators can trust for commercial commitments.
How It Works
Select Vessel & Define Voyage
Choose a vessel from your fleet and define the voyage parameters — port pair, cargo, departure window, and any fixed constraints. The platform automatically loads the vessel's current digital twin model, including up-to-date hull condition, engine performance, and fuel system configuration.
Configure Scenarios
Set up multiple scenarios by varying speed profiles, routes, fuel types, or other parameters you want to compare. The simulator supports both manual configuration and automated sensitivity sweeps across parameter ranges, enabling systematic exploration of the decision space.
Run Simulations & Analyze Results
The simulation engine processes each scenario in seconds, producing detailed results including daily fuel consumption, emissions, costs, weather impacts, and regulatory metrics. Interactive comparison dashboards highlight the trade-offs between scenarios and rank them by your chosen optimization objective.
Export & Act on Insights
Export simulation results as voyage plans for Smart Navigation, share commercial analyses with chartering desks, or push fleet decarbonization scenarios to executive reporting. Simulation assumptions and results are versioned and auditable, supporting structured decision governance.
