OceanWise - Experts & Thought Leaders

  Port of Tyne has recently elevated their real-time weather displays by implementing the new Port-Log Forecast Extension. Forecasting Extension “Implementing the Forecasting Extension to our Port-Log online platform has been transformative for our operations. It provides us with precise and reliable weather forecasts and tidal predictions on a single screen," said Dillon Brown, Port of Tyne. "This has helped streamline the process for our operators, giving them access to all the environmental information they need in one place, to make informed decisions for port operations and vessel movements.”

OceanWise was awarded the contract to work on a unique project involving the historic and impressive HMS Warrior vessel. This iconic piece of British history is moored in Portsmouth as part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy. HMS Warrior is an "ironclad, 40-gun, steam-powered frigate, built for the British Navy in 1859-1861″. OceanWise is proudly working with a number of project partners including Waves Group Limited, Nortek, Gill instruments and RS Divers to install a variety of environmental monitoring sensors in close proximity to HMS Warrior. These sensors collected real-time environmental data throughout March – May 2024. Dedicated Port-log webpage Dedicated Port-log webpage that was created for the project, allowed the user to view all the data The data collected included wave height, direction and period, current speed and direction, wind speed and direction, air temperature and pressure. The data from the equipment was publicly available to view during the project via the cloud-based data platform ‘Port-Log’.  The dedicated Port-log webpage that was created for the project, allowed the user to view all the data, as it came in, in real-time, at any time during the project timeline. Now that the project has come to an end, the equipment has been retrieved and the data is being analysed. If possible, they hope to bring them an update on what the data revealed. Watch this space!
