Accurate weather information is essential to ensure the day to day running of a port/harbour. From ship movements in and out to the loading/unloading of cargo, MeteoGroup’s forecasts assist in planning effectively to make the most of operating windows and ensuring the impact of inclement weather is mitigated.

PortCast is MeteoGroup’s site specific weather forecasting service for nearshore and shoreside operations.

Using its unique nearshore ‘rose’ forecast model, MeteoGroup is able to produce highly accurate forecasts of critical weather elements such as wind, wave, pressure, swell, visibility and precipitation downscaled to any individual location in the World. This information, at a far higher resolution than the commonly available global models, provides a better level of detail, giving staff an added confidence in their decision making. 

All services can be supported by a 24/7 consultancy with an experienced nearshore meteorologist – able to explain the forecast and produce forecasts on demand, if required. 

Giving clients the choice of a fully automated or forecaster managed service means that PortCast will provide an appropriate level of information and support to cater for all sizes of operations and budgets.
