Tidal Monitoring at the Port of Waterford

OceanWise has won a contract with the Port of Waterford to help with their aim to consolidate, manage and better share environmental data collected by a diverse range of environmental sensors across their port jurisdiction.

The port of Waterford, dubbed ‘Ireland’s closest multi-modal port to continental Europe’, operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The Waterford Harbor is an estuary where channel depths can vary with tidal height significantly affecting safe vessel passage. OceanWise will be supporting their operations by installing the data management system Port-Log, widely used by many ports and harbors around the UK and overseas. This system will allow the Waterford pilots and port operators access to important real-time data and personalized alerts, which closely monitor the ever-changing tide and environmental conditions in the port.
