OceanWise is excited to announce the release of its latest development within the Port-Log family, the Forecast Extension.
In dynamic environments the requirement of weather forecast data and real-time weather information is vital, however to date there has been no integration of these two datasets causing the user to have to visit multiple website or platforms to find the required information. A labour and time intensive process to retrieve information which is required on an instantaneous and constantly changing basis.
Weather forecast data supports time-critical decisions which often offer during busy operational periods, the operators therefore require clear, concise, and reliable information to be available in a single, easily accessible location for quick reference. This imperative need for integration of real-time and weather forecast data to enhance decision-making processes and to ensure operational safety is maintained throughout with a well-informed workforce.
Port-Log Forecasting Extension can be integrated into existing Port-Log systems to achieve the following benefits:
- Operational Resilience – anticipating weather changes enables proactive decision-making, reducing the impact of adverse conditions on both marine and landside operations.
- Enhanced Safety – by factoring in weather forecasts, ports and harbours can implement safety measures and protocols to protect vessels, cargo, and personnel.
- Improved Efficiency – having an improved understanding of forecasted conditions alongside real-time live data can assist in optimizing scheduling and resource allocation resulting in minimising downtime and maximising operational efficiency.
The integration of the weather forecast data alongside real-time weather feeds through implementation of the Port-Log Forecast Extension, provides significant added value to a Port’s environmental monitoring data. It offers a comprehensive solution to empower port authorities and operators in making informed, timely decisions that positively impact the safety, efficiency, and overall success of marine and landside operations.
