D-ICE Engineering
D-ICE Engineering is a technology company offering software solutions or embedded systems to help maritime industries reduce their carbon footprint, improve the safety of operations at sea and produce green energy.
Created in 2015 in Nantes, D-ICE offers its customers solid expertise and cutting-edge scientific knowledge for the realization of their projects, applying a “Model-Based Design” philosophy. This translates into the need for a detailed understanding of the physical phenomena involved in order to be able to propose the appropriate services or control systems.
With its OCEANiCS navigation and control solution, D-ICE aims to be the partner of choice for maritime decarbonization.
Putting the environment back at the heart of navigation, OCEANiCS makes it possible to make the most of wind propulsion systems on shipping vessels, or to better manage the impact of the environment on operations thanks to some of the most innovative piloting and routing algorithms.
Beyond onboard systems, D-ICE supports shipowners and naval architects with a wide range of engineering services from the earliest design phases, to help them focus on the best technological choices.
D-ICE brings together a multidisciplinary team of some twenty engineers, half of them PhDs, specializing in naval hydrodynamics, robotics, software and systems engineering, applied mathematics and artificial intelligence.
Based on developments validated using the FRyDoM simulation environment, OCEANiCS aims to be a decision-making, optimization and control tool, particularly suited to the challenges of mixed mechanical/vehicle propulsion vessels.
Currently undergoing finalization and certification, the system will go on board the first modern sailing cargo ship, the RoRo Canopée.
OCEANiCS was also a 2019 winner of ADEME’s Concours Innovation Vague 3, which will enable the integration of new functionalities to move towards ship autonomization.

SATORI is an online platform that enables users to calculate large quantities of historical weather routing calculations themselves, in order to compile statistics on the reduction in power consumption associated with the use of wind assistance on their vessels.
The user must load the polar performance tables for his or her vessel, and define the dates, months, years, etc., over which the calculations are to be performed.
The user must first load the polar performance tables for his vessel, define the dates, months and years on which he wishes to run the route calculations, and define the routes and constraints (duration, maximum wind, wax waves) before being able to run a study.
After a few simple steps, the user is able to run the route calculations and the constraints (duration, maximum wind, wax waves) before being able to run a study.
After a few simple steps, the user is able to run the route calculations and the constraints (duration, maximum wind, wax waves) before being able to run a study.
After a few simple steps, the user is able to run the route calculations and the constraints (duration, maximum wind, wax waves) before being able to run a study.
After a few hours, he has access to a CSV file in which he will find all the results (ship performance and consumption, and meteorological data for each step of each calculated route). The platform also enables these results to be analyzed online.
