Offshore App
June 9, 2025
An Offshore App is a marine weather and routing application designed for use when a vessel is beyond reliable mobile coverage. In a PredictWind context, the Offshore App downloads compact forecast data, displays wind and wave information, and supports route decisions while at sea.
For passage makers, the key value is access to updated forecasts without wasting bandwidth. Crews can download GRIB files, compare conditions along a planned track, and run Weather Routing using limited Satellite Connectivity. This helps choose safer departure windows, avoid heavy weather, optimise fuel or sail performance, and maintain situational awareness offshore.
PredictWind’s Offshore App is built for bluewater sailors, power boaters and professional crews using connections such as Iridium GO!, Starlink or onboard networks. When paired with DataHub, it can streamline downloads, GPS tracking and vessel data sharing for more informed weather decisions far from shore.
