IE Research Datalab members David Gómez-Ullate, Daniel Precioso, and Francisco Suárez participated in RISE SWOPP3, a joint-industry workshop in Gothenburg focused on weather routing and speed planning for wind-powered and wind-assisted ships.

The meeting, hosted at RISE/SSPA, brought together maritime researchers and industry participants to compare route-optimization approaches on shared benchmark scenarios. The IE team contributed to the discussion from the perspective of optimization, applied mathematics, and data-driven decision making for lower-emission shipping.

IE Research Datalab presented the open SWOPP3 Phase 2 benchmark and BERS, a continuous weather-routing method for just-in-time arrival. The line of work connects reproducible benchmarking with practical algorithms for sustainable maritime operations.
