Forecaster deployments

During times of weather sensitive operations, having the option of a meteorologist onboard to provide personal support and guidance will enable key personnel to make informed decisions in marginal situations to optimise operational efficiency, safeguard asset safety and ensure cost savings. The presence of an Offshore Meteorologist is a strategic investment that goes beyond your traditional weather monitoring and forecasting by providing enhanced real time forecast precision, safety and efficiency. 

We expect the highest of standards from our deployed meteorologists and they are required to demonstrate competence in their role before being allowed to forecast in a solo capacity. Marine Meteorologists who work offshore are in positions of senior meteorology and therefore must obtain a certain degree of working experience and successfully pass maritime exams before being considered.  

What are the benefits of having a deployed forecaster?

  • Safety Enhancement - Real-time monitoring and early detection of adverse weather events by contributing to the refinement of safety protocols, ensuring robust protection of personnel and assets against weather-related risk.
  • Operational Efficiency - Strategic planning based on improved real-time weather forecasts ensuring that personnel receive the latest information on changing weather conditions positively impacting timelines to ensure they stay on track.
  • Cost Savings - Reduce operational costs by avoiding weather-related disruption, need for downtime and resource allocation.
  • Emergency Response Planning - Work closely with asset operators and vessels to develop and enhance emergency response plans, ensuring proactive measures are in place to address and migrate the impact of adverse weather events.
  • Route Optimisation - Optimise vessel routes based on accurate forecasts, ensuring safe navigation for vessels, reducing fuel consumption, and supporting cost effective and environmentally responsible operations.
