Seafarers track upcoming voyage contracts, check active port deployments, and review historical sea-service records.
At its core, the is a proprietary digital market intelligence and fleet monitoring platform offered by Euronav. Unlike standard Automatic Identification System (AIS) trackers that simply show ship positions, the Compass aggregates real-time data, commercial analytics, and strategic insights specifically tailored to the Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), Suezmax, and Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) units that make up the Euronav fleet.
Let’s dive into each of these layers.
: The system uses a customizable Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that is designed to be intuitive, reducing pilot workload during high-stakes missions.
A VLCC like the Euronav Compass is not just an engineering asset; it is a geopolitical weapon. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, tanker routes have been redrawn. Euronav Compass
: Euronav Compass acts as an extensive routing platform that optimizes ship and aircraft capability by reducing manual calculation errors and streamlining passage planning.
A key feature of this software is its ability to integrate with a and other input sources like GPS, AIS, and depth sounders to drive an autopilot system. The software's mapping and navigation capabilities are considered among the first of their kind for PC-based chart plotters. Seafarers track upcoming voyage contracts, check active port
: The system utilizes a Man-Machine Interface (MMI) designed for quick access to common settings and flight data.
Euronav has pivoted towards dual-fuel vessels (LNG or ammonia-ready). While the Euronav Compass may still run on conventional fuel oil, she is likely equipped with an Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) certification and a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating. To maintain a high rating (A-C), the crew and shore management must constantly optimize voyage planning, hull cleaning, and trim. Let’s dive into each of these layers
As the real compass points north, the Euronav Compass points east—toward Asia, toward volatility, and eventually, toward an uncertain but cleaner horizon.
