This service has been available for over a year and has been well received by captains. More than 4,000 weather forecast emails are sent daily.

Throughout the service period, captains have provided valuable feedback, particularly in comparing our forecast data with those of weather navigation service companies. Based on this feedback, we recently made several significant upgrades to our services:

Steps to Receive HiFleet's Voyage Weather Forecast Email

1. Add a Planned Route:

   - Navigate to the "Future" section on the "Map" page, select the target vessel, and enter the "Future" page. There are four ways to add a planned route:

- Hand-Drawn Route (Free): Set turning points on the chart. Right-click to finish, enter a name, and save as a navigation plan. The system will automatically designate it as the execution route.

- Route File Upload: This feature supports multiple formats, including xls, csv, xml, rux, rx4, and rtz. Route templates are available for vessels with unsupported formats or without electronic charts.

- Voyage Planning: Select the starting point (current location) and ending point (ETA location from AIS) on the map, then click "Draw" to create the route. Save as "Planned Route" to view in the plan list.

- Email Registration: Click the "Email" button, set an email address, and save. When the master or maritime personnel email the planned route (exported from ECDIS) to the company, they should also send it to reports@hifleet.com for automatic uploading to your HiFleet account.

2. Start Sending Voyage Weather Forecast Emails:

- Sending Method: After drawing/uploading/importing the planned route, go to the vessel's "Current" page in the "Weather Routing" section. Click the [Mail] button, set the receiving email address, and confirm to start sending.

- Sending Schedule: Emails are automatically sent every 6 hours after the vessel sails (00:00 / 06:00 / 12:00 / 18:00). By default, one email is sent daily.

- Automatic Analysis for Paying Users: Paying users can register and bind the vessel through email, after which HiFleet will automatically send weather forecast emails without needing to click the button. Users can reply to these emails to change settings.

3. Email Settings:

- The received voyage weather forecast email includes options to set planned speed, sending frequency, and unsubscribe settings. Simply click the link to adjust settings or reply directly to the email. 

- For example, reply with the desired speed, such as "12.5," or adjust frequency by replying "D1" (once a day) or "D4" (four times a day). To unsubscribe, reply with "unsubscribe."

The meteorological factors of the navigation position and time in the next 5 days and the speed estimation are as follows:

The calculated position and weather map are as follows:
