Operate ports with the precision of air traffic control.
Marine forecasts and intelligence for ports, harbours and terminals — turning maritime uncertainty into operational advantage.
A single day of downtime can cost millions. The trigger is usually marine.
Ports handle approximately 90% of global trade. The Port of Rotterdam alone contributes €60B to Dutch GDP. A single day of downtime at a major terminal costs millions in demurrage and cascades through global supply chains.
When the Ever Given blocked the Suez Canal for six days, it disrupted $9.6B of trade per day. Modern port operations cannot afford to react to environmental events — they must anticipate and plan around them.
Three integrated solutions for port operators.
We deliver oceanographic and metocean forecasts customised to your port: wave height, current speed and direction, water quality, sediment dynamics — calibrated to your specific basin, berth and operational thresholds.
Continuous measurement from buoys deployed within your port environment, or from your existing infrastructure.
- · Wave height & period
- · Current speed & direction
- · Water-quality parameters
7-day forecasts of metocean and water-quality parameters, with alerts categorised for different port operations.
- · Loading-window optimisation
- · Dredging schedule support
- · Sediment plume tracking
Historical analysis for new berth construction, channel dredging, or diagnosing recurring operational disruptions.
- · Berth-site comparison
- · Recurring-event diagnosis
- · Long-term sediment trends
Predict the conditions that move your operation.
Significant wave height, swell direction, set-down predictions for safe berthing.
Surface and depth profiles, tidal current modelling for pilotage decisions.
Plume tracking, deposition zone forecasts, scour around berths and channels.

What changes when you can plan around the marine environment.
- 01Increase berthing & pilotage safety.
Forecast-driven scheduling means fewer marginal-condition operations and fewer near-misses.
- 02Optimise loading-window scheduling.
Identify the most favourable 24-hour windows up to seven days ahead. Reduce demurrage exposure.
- 03Plan dredging campaigns intelligently.
Sediment forecasts and historical analysis support efficient, evidence-based dredging schedules.
- 04Maintain regulatory and environmental compliance.
Continuous oceanographic intelligence supports environmental reporting and risk assessments.
Real-time intelligence at the world's largest LNG export terminal.
At Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City — home to the world's largest LNG export facility handling 77 million tonnes annually — Qatargas faced a critical challenge: how to maintain flawless operations when a single day of downtime could cost millions and disrupt global energy supply chains.
A three-buoy SEAWATCH® network now delivers real-time oceanographic, meteorological and geotechnical intelligence — supporting continuous safe loading operations with predictive analytics for wave, current, and water-quality conditions.
