The deal will make a range of Windward services available to MFA members. Bunker supplier industry group the Marine Fuels Alliance has signed a new deal with maritime AI firm Windward offering its services to the organisation's members. The partnership will see Windward providing educational sessions to MFA members and offering a bespoke package of AI-powered solutions, the MFA said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Windward's services use machine learning and behavioural analytics models to help companies optimise business practices and navigate maritime risks in real time. "Upon launching the MFA in Oct 2021, we knew that the issue of sanctions was one of the biggest challenges facing bunker supply companies," Anthony Mollet, executive officer of the MFA, said in the statement.
