The Challenges
Every routing decision is yours to own
Ship captains carry full legal and operational responsibility for the vessel, the crew and the cargo. Weather conditions shift, ETAs tighten and commercial constraints change throughout a passage. Producing the optimal route means simultaneously accounting for safety, fuel efficiency, vessel performance and charterer requirements, often under time pressure.
The quality of that decision depends entirely on the quality of the information available.
What Syroco delivers
A direct impact on your bottom line.
Route recommendations built around your constraints
Syroco computes route recommendations that account for operational, safety and commercial constraints simultaneously. You receive a clear, actionable proposal for each voyage. Final routing authority stays with you.
24/7 access to the Onwatch fleet centre
Behind every recommendation is a professional Onwatch team, reachable by message, call or video at any hour. Guaranteed 30-minute response time on high-severity situations. Rated 4.89/5 by crews across the fleet.
Detailed forecasts along your entire route
Extensive, continuously updated views of weather conditions and safety warnings along your route so every routing decision is based on accurate, current data.
Your judgement is the final word
Syroco is a decision-support tool, not an autopilot. It structures the complexity ship captains already manage every day consolidating weather data, vessel performance and commercial constraints into a single, clear recommendation. What you do with that recommendation remains entirely your call.
Frequently asked questions
No. Syroco provides route recommendations the captain accepts or refuses each one. Final authority over the vessel, the route and all operational decisions remains with the master at all times.
The captain is never required to follow a recommendation. If clarification is needed, the Onwatch fleet centre team is available 24/7 reachable by message, call or video to discuss the proposal directly.
Every recommendation integrates current weather forecasts, vessel performance data, operational constraints, navigation regulations and commercial requirements before it is presented. Safety parameters are built into the calculation, not added as an afterthought.
Once a captain accepts a route recommendation in Syroco, they export it as an RTZ file, transfer it to their ECDIS via USB, and integrate it into their existing navigation system. The process follows standard maritime workflow and requires no new equipment or technical integration.
