Typhoon season in the West Pacific has started with the first typhoon Malakas followed by tropical storm Megi in April. What is the forecast for this 2022 seasons? How would the ongoing La Niña conditions affect the number of storms, their tracks and intensity? Across to the Atlantic, what is the story behind the predicted above average hurricane number? For vessels sailing in these basins with active storms, what would be some routing strategies in mitigating the risk?

Speaker from StormGeo Mr Michael Krch has  over 20 years of experience in meteorological operations including maritime transport risk management and route analysis.   During the webinar,  he shared his view on  how shore-based routing service might assist vessels to avoid encountering severe weather, causing dangerous vessel motions and potential cargo loss.
