# LinkedIn Post Draft — Windmar Demo
2+
3+
---
4+
5+
I open-sourced WINDMAR — a physics-based weather routing engine for merchant ships.
6+
7+
Most voyage optimization tools are black boxes. Windmar puts the physics front and center: Holtrop-Mennen resistance prediction, STAWAVE-1 wave added resistance (ISO 15016), SFOC curves at variable engine loads, and seakeeping safety constraints — all calibratable from your own noon reports and engine logs.
8+
9+
Try it locally in 2 minutes — no build step, no credentials needed:
10+
11+
```
12+
mkdir windmar && cd windmar
13+
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/windmar-nav/windmar-demo/main/docker-compose.standalone.yml
14+
curl -L -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/windmar-nav/windmar-demo/main/.env.standalone
15+
docker compose -f docker-compose.standalone.yml up -d
16+
```
17+
18+
Open http://localhost:3000 — wind data loads automatically from NOAA GFS.
19+
20+
What's included:
21+
- A* and Dijkstra weather-aware route optimization (6 variants: fuel / balanced / safety)
22+
- Real-time GFS wind fields with Windy-style particle animation
23+
- Wave, current, SST, and ice overlays (with free Copernicus Marine credentials)
24+
- IMO CII compliance tracking and FuelEU Maritime GHG intensity
25+
- Engine log analytics: speed-power scatter, fuel distributions, voyage KPIs
26+
- Monte Carlo confidence intervals (P10/P50/P90 for ETA and fuel)
27+
- 9 pre-validated commercial strait shortcuts (Gibraltar, Dover, Malacca, Hormuz...)
28+
- Charter party weather clause tools
29+
30+
The stack: FastAPI + Next.js + PostgreSQL + Redis, fully containerized.
31+
32+
Important caveat: this is an educational release. The vessel model ships with default MR tanker parameters not yet calibrated against sea trial data. Routing algorithms have not been benchmarked against commercial solutions. A sea validation campaign is planned — results will be published.
33+
34+
Full source code is Apache 2.0 licensed. If you want to improve it, fork it. If you want a production-ready solution, a commercial version is in development.
