Voyage & transit risk

Cut through the noise before you commit a route.

Genuine risk is easily lost in the flood of maritime information. A Verihelm voyage and transit risk assessment gives you a clear, defensible read on a specific route, so the routing decision rests on evidence, not assumption.

Verihelm voyage risk dashboard: leg-by-leg route assessment
What it is

A route-specific read on the threats along a voyage.

A detailed, route-specific assessment of the threats along a voyage and at the ports it calls. It sets out the context, the current security picture, and the considerations for operating as safely and as commercially efficiently as possible, leg by leg. Where you need to weigh one routing against another, alternative routes can be assessed separately to make the trade-off explicit.

What's in an assessment

The main factors that shape the passage, leg by leg.

  • Leg-by-leg route risk across the full waypoint sequence, with threat-zone traversal scored, not averaged away.
  • Port-call context from published port assessments for departure, arrival and intermediate calls, where available.
  • Joint War Committee (JWC) listed-area exposure and Additional War Risk Premium (AWRP) requirement context, so charterers and underwriters can see where a routing triggers war-risk considerations.
  • Threat and weather exposure combined: security threats, sea state and seasonal factors that shape the passage.
  • Vessel-specific risk that adjusts to the ship you give us (type, flag, age, freeboard), rather than a generic average.
  • Validity and reassessment triggers, so you know how long the assessment holds and what would change it.
  • Considerations and a crew briefing, in plain English and ready to brief, with defensive measures framed as options to consider rather than instructions.
  • Delivered as a shareable Portable Document Format (PDF).
Why it reads differently

Analyst judgement on top of the data, not instead of it.

Automated risk tools give a single quantitative score from historical event trends, and stop there. Verihelm voyage outputs draw on analyst-approved regional and port content where available, carry report provenance and source context, and are aligned to Best Management Practices for Maritime Security (BMP-MS) guidance. Human analytical judgement informs the threat profile for your people and your assets, on top of the data, not instead of it.

Who it's for

Built for the people who weigh the route.

  • Operators and ship managers planning a passage through a higher-threat region.
  • Charterers and commodity traders weighing a routing decision against its exposure.
  • War-risk and protection and indemnity (P&I) underwriters who need a defensible, evidence-backed view of a voyage's exposure.
