Aerospace & Marine International

What Aerospace & Marine International does

Aerospace & Marine International (AMI) is a privately held specialist provider of maritime weather forecasting, routing optimization, and fleet management services founded in 1991 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company operates two state-of-the-art, fully networked forecasting centers in the USA and UK to deliver 24-hour global meteorological and oceanographic support, deploying a suite of proprietary systems: AMI Weather 3000, AMI Fleet Manager, AMI Aurora, AMI Offshore, AMI-Web, and the Daily Status Report, supplemented by specialized modules such as the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), CII Platform, Multi-Speed Routing (MSR), Green Voyage Report, Tropical Advisory Services, Northern Sea Route Routing, and Voyage Planning.

AMI serves commercial shipping operators, shipowners, and adjacent maritime users such as subsea cable operators, with a primary focus on voyage safety, fuel efficiency, route optimization, and regulatory compliance (EU ETS and IMO CII). The underlying technology combines certified meteorologist and oceanographer expertise with proprietary web-based platforms, integrating weather data inputs, vessel telemetry, emissions monitoring, and rule-based routing engines (including two-speed scenario comparison).

Revenue is generated through recurring/subscription service contracts, with no public pricing disclosed; sales run through a dedicated enterprise field sales motion led by Global Directors of Business Development (Dino Avagliano, Suzette Webster), supported by a 'Request a Demo' website CTA and executive participation in maritime industry events such as the Gallagher & friends Maritime Symposium in Naples 2025. Pricing is bespoke and consultative, anchored by mission-critical safety and compliance use cases rather than commodity data feeds.

Direct peers

• StormGeo (Alfa Laval): StormGeo, now part of Alfa Laval, is the closest direct peer to AMI, providing maritime weather routing, voyage planning, and fleet performance services to ship operators worldwide on a subscription basis. The two compete for the same B2B shipowner budgets across weather forecasting, route optimization, and emissions-aware decision support.
• Applied Weather Technology (AWT): AWT is a long-established direct competitor specializing in marine weather routing, voyage optimization, and tropical cyclone avoidance services for commercial shipping, yachts, and offshore operations. AWT's product portfolio overlaps directly with AMI's Aurora, Weather 3000, and Tropical Advisory offerings.
• DTN: DTN, formed via the merger of MeteoGroup and DTN, is a major global provider of weather intelligence and routing for shipping, agriculture, and aviation, and competes head-on with AMI in maritime subscription forecasting and fleet decision support.
• BVS Marine Weather Services: BVS provides marine weather forecasting, routing, and operational decision support for commercial shipping, offshore, and towage, closely overlapping AMI's Maritime Weather 3000 and voyage planning products. It serves a similar niche of vessel operators requiring forecast-led routing and fuel optimization.

Broad incumbents

• Wärtsilä Voyage: Wärtsilä Voyage, a division of Wärtsilä, offers integrated bridge systems, navigation, and voyage optimization under a much broader maritime technology and services portfolio. AMI competes at the overlap in voyage planning and performance management, but Wärtsilä is a much larger incumbent with cross-sell across engines, services, and digital products.

Emerging players

• Pole Star Global: Pole Star provides maritime fleet tracking, regulatory compliance (including EU ETS and IMO CII), and operational risk management tools for ship operators. It overlaps with AMI on the compliance and emissions-monitoring side while extending into regulatory tracking where AMI's CMS and CII Platform also operate.

Others

• RightShip: RightShip operates a maritime sustainability rating and emissions intelligence platform widely used by charterers and shipowners to evaluate vessel ESG performance. It is adjacent to AMI rather than a direct forecaster, but a key ecosystem player whose ratings drive demand for the CII-grade outputs AMI's platform produces.
• UK Met Office (commercial services): The UK Met Office provides authoritative marine weather data and services to commercial shipping underpins much of the industry's forecasting. AMI's UK operations center sits in the same geographic ecosystem and likely relies on or complements Met Office data feeds; it is an upstream/data partner as well as an indirect competitor.
