❓ Did you know that environmental data can help shipping vessels minimize their fuel consumption?

🧭 The Weather Routing Tool (#WRT), an open-source Python library developed by 52°North, uses environmental data, including various meteorological parameters (such as wind and waves) and water depth information to calculate optimal #maritime routes.

Interested in how this works?
