Worldwide Weather Forecasting

Accurate and reliable weather forecasting is essential for the success and safety of offshore wind projects. Our services provide real-time, tailored meteorological insights to optimise marine operations and minimise weather-related risks.

Key features

Forecasting built around operations

Weather plays a central role in every phase of an offshore wind farm's lifecycle, from site surveys to turbine installation and through long-term operations and maintenance.

Comprehensive forecasting

Precise forecasts for wind speed, wave height, currents and severe weather conditions to support offshore construction, operations and maintenance.

Global coverage

Reliable weather data for offshore wind sites worldwide, ensuring that projects remain on schedule no matter their location.

Tailored solutions

Site-specific forecasts aligned with your operational needs, from vessel mobilisation and crew transfer to turbine installation and maintenance windows.

24/7 monitoring & alerts

Round-the-clock updates, early warnings of adverse weather and clear insights so plans can be adjusted proactively.

Operational planning support

Forecasts integrated into operational planning to identify safe working windows, improve efficiency and reduce downtime.

Wave rider buoys

Deployed instrumentation giving measured sea state alongside forecast data, so decisions rest on what the sea is actually doing as well as what is predicted.

Why it matters offshore

Safety first. Sudden weather changes can endanger personnel on crew transfer vessels or jack-up barges. Reliable forecasts allow operations to be paused in advance rather than reacted to.

Operational efficiency. Knowing when weather windows will open or close means better planning of SIMOPS and vessel scheduling.

Turbine access windows. Access is often limited by wind speed, sea state and wave height. Forecasting turns those limits into a workable plan.
