| 1 | +# 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. |
