Ascenz Marorka, a GTT Group company, announces that its advanced weather routing solution has been selected by Clean Products Tankers Alliance (CPTA) to equip its entire fleet. CPTA, a world-leading medium-range product tanker pool, operates approximately 20 vessels.
The Ascenz Marorka weather routing solution defines optimal shipping routes by integrating multiple operational, economic and environmental variables, while taking into account a wide range of operational and regulatory constraints.

The latter hosts maritime experts with a diversity of key expertise such as navigation, weather, vessel performance management, LNG cargo & operations management, offshore operations etc.
Anouar Kiassi, Managing Director of Ascenz Marorka, declared: “We are honoured by the trust that CPTA places in us to support them in their journey towards digitalisation.
