OceanWise’s Port-Log Forecast Extension provides seamless access to weather conditions, tidal predictions and environmental data through one integrated platform. By centralising this information, the port can make quicker, data-driven decisions to improve safety and efficiency.

“With the OceanWise Forecasting Extension added to our Port-Log online platform, we now have precise and reliable weather forecasts and tidal predictions on a single screen,” said a Port of Tyne representative.

“This has streamlined our operations, giving us immediate access to the environmental insights we need to make informed decisions for port operations and vessel movements.”

Increased resilience

The new system offers numerous benefits, including increased operational resilience through proactive planning based on real-time data.

It also offers enhanced safety measures to protect vessels and personnel and improved efficiency by optimising scheduling and resource allocation. This of course has led to reduced emissions.

OceanWise’s expertise in marine data management has made this digitisation possible, helping ports like Tyne enhance their environmental monitoring capabilities.

As ports face growing demands for sustainability and efficiency, tools like the Port-Log Forecast Extension provide vital support for smarter, safer and more effective maritime operations.

This development reflects the Port of Tyne’s forward-thinking approach, solidifying its position as a leader in using innovative technology to ensure operational excellence and environmental responsibility.
