KIEL, Germany—TrueOcean’s cloud-based Marine Data Platform (MDP) for optimizing offshore wind project development and operations globally has been upgraded to include metocean data forecasts natively, enabling marine survey, energy company and offshore contractor end users to improve quality control of data from diverse marine sensors such as multibeam echo sounders and sub-bottom profilers, the company explained.
The integration of wind, wave and environmental data from Spire Global augments the TrueOcean MDP’s sensor data management capabilities, which are designed to optimize technical workflows in geo-informatics, geotechnics and hydrography, using a single integrated platform built specifically for the offshore wind sector.
Spire Global's weather forecast already assists surveying and offshore construction contractors, as well as operation and maintenance companies, in planning and preparing for work at sea. The recorded metocean data, in turn, helps asset owners (including utilities and cable network operators) in verifying their processes and improving quality when working with survey data.
