Qwen Outperforms Veteran Captain in Weather Analysis, Aids Safe Sailing
千问APP · wechat · 2026-08-17
A sailing club captain in Weihai shares his experience using Qwen (Tongyi Qianwen) for maritime weather monitoring and global route planning.
Weather Monitoring & Early Warning
Traditionally relying on experience and multiple apps, the captain now uses Qwen to monitor weather data every six hours. Before a storm surge, Qwen issued a warning to bring boats ashore. Although initially hesitant based on his own experience, the captain eventually mobilized the team following Qwen's specific timing, preventing boat damage. Post-event analysis confirmed abnormal water levels, leading the captain to acknowledge that Qwen's analytical capabilities surpassed his own experience.
Intelligent Route Planning
For a five-year global sailing plan, the captain used Qwen to compile a list of international events suitable for his boat type (with a popularity rating over 6/10). Qwen generated a detailed map with event locations, websites, registration channels, and deadlines. Tasks that previously took years to clarify were completed by Qwen in half an hour, significantly improving decision-making efficiency.
