What StormGeo does

StormGeo AS, founded in 1998 in Bergen, Norway, is a privately held provider of weather intelligence and decision-support software that operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alfa Laval following the 2021 acquisition. The company combines proprietary meteorological models, AI-driven vessel performance analytics, and voyage optimization algorithms into a portfolio of platforms including s-Insight (fleet performance and emissions compliance), s-Planner (e-navigation), s-Routing (weather routing with 24/7 route analyst support), and NextGen Bunker Management. Its software integrates regulatory tooling for FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, CII, IMO DCS, and UK ETS. StormGeo also delivers energy market analytics covering Nordic and European power markets, long-term market outlooks to 2050, carbon and coal market analysis, plus GridWatch for power grid operators and a multi-industry weather intelligence product line including storm, flood, and lightning alerting.

StormGeo monetizes primarily through multi-year enterprise subscriptions delivered via web portals and APIs, with quote-based pricing tied to fleet size, vessels under contract, and modules selected. It sells through direct enterprise field sales supported by 25 global offices and 10 24/7 operations centers, with additional co-sell leverage through parent Alfa Laval and lead generation at maritime and energy industry events (Posidonia, Nor-Shipping, SMM Hamburg, WindEurope). The customer base spans shipping companies, energy producers and utilities, power grid operators, ports, aviation, and healthcare facilities, with named enterprise customers including G2 Ocean, TORM, Peel Ports Group, Akar Group, Thenamaris LNG, Medxcel, PHI Aviation, and Lede.

The company has expanded through multiple bolt-on acquisitions (ImpactWeather 2012, Met Consultancy 2012, Applied Weather Technology 2014, NENA AS 2016, Nautisk 2018/2024, Grupo Climatempo 2019/2024) and a steady cadence of partnerships and product launches through 2025-2026. Reported operational metrics include 75,000+ voyages optimized annually, 12,000+ ships relying on StormGeo software or services, 10M+ forecasts issued per year, 5 million+ metric tons of fuel saved and 15 million+ metric tons of CO2 avoided over the last decade through weather routing, and operations centers running 24/7/365 from ten locations worldwide.
