Ferry weather notice for passengers
A passenger notice each morning from the weather at the terminals.
What it does
Every morning at 5:30: wind and rain at your ferry terminals for the day, and a passenger notice by xMap AI (normal, expect delays, or check before travelling), emailed to the customer team.
In one sentence: Every day at 05:30, in Athens and Istanbul, get the 1-day weather forecast, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Passengers want to know before they leave home. A clear notice each morning cuts calls and complaints.
Who it is for
Ports, shipping & maritime. Port operators, ship agents, marine suppliers, terminals and marinas following vessels, weather and the business around the water. Every use case for ports & shipping
Best use cases

- An email
The time it saves
Every day at 05:30. Doing the same work by hand takes about 20 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 10 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 5 blocks.
