The weather at ports can have a big impact on maritime operations. Extreme weather events can make maritime operations much more dangerous, with a higher risk of collisions.
However, less severe changes in weather can also have an impact on operational efficiency and safety.
There may be ways to better plan berth allocation or vessel maneuvers taking a weather forecast into account. For instance, if a storm is expected to hit a port and vessel congestion may occur at that specific site- ships can incorporate weather data into their weather routing models to account for fuel consumption beforehand and save thousands of dollars plus better plan their ETAs.
In this webinar on how to build weather resistant port operations, sponsored by Spire, the speakers will discuss how accurate weather data can be used by port authorities and all others involved in maritime operations at ports.
