MetOcean Systems
Real-time weather monitoring
We specialise in the design and deployment of MetOcean systems, which includes Radac Wave radar units capable of detecting wave direction, height, period, and tide. These radar units can be integrated with anemometers to provide wind speed, direction, and temperature data, which is displayed on a customised dashboard alongside the wave radar data using our proprietary software package.
Our team of GWO qualified engineers can install MetOcean systems offshore anywhere in the world. Their expertise has already been put to use on the Moray East Offshore Windfarm, where a MetOcean system has improved operational efficiency and significantly reduced operational costs for the wind farm.
Benefits of MetOcean Systems
- Increased operational efficiency and maximised use of weather windows, allowing for more efficient and effective operations.
- Safe personnel transfer and access to turbine platforms from service vessels, ensuring the safety of personnel in harsh offshore environments.
- Real-time monitoring of wave direction, height, period, and tide, allowing for timely decision-making based on accurate data.
- Real-time monitoring of wind speed, direction, and temperature, providing critical meteorological data for offshore operations.
- A bespoke customer-based dashboard, tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
- Design and consultancy services, ensuring the MetOcean system meets customer needs and operational requirements.
- Offshore installation of the system by GWO qualified engineers, with project management and delivery provided by FernCom.
- Maintenance of the MetOcean system to ensure continued reliable operation and maximum uptime.
