Port of Tyne Enhances Real-Time Environmental Monitoring
with OceanWise’s Port-Log Forecast Extension

The Port of Tyne, one of the UK’s most forward-thinking deep-sea ports, has taken a significant step in modernising its environmental monitoring with the successful integration of the Port-Log Forecast Extension from OceanWise. This latest enhancement provides port operators with a seamless, real-time view of weather conditions, tidal predictions, and environmental data—ensuring safer, more efficient, and data-driven decision-making.

Transforming Access to Critical Weather Data

Traditionally, port operators have had to navigate multiple platforms to access crucial environmental information, making real-time decision-making both complex and time-consuming. Recognising this challenge, the Port of Tyne turned to OceanWise to develop a fully integrated solution that brings together real-time weather feeds, forecast data, and tidal predictions in one centralised display. “With the OceanWise Forecasting Extension added to our Port-Log online platform, we now have precise and reliable weather forecasts and tidal predictions on a single screen,” said a Port of Tyne representative. “This has streamlined our operations, giving us immediate access to the environmental insights we need to make informed decisions for port operations and vessel movements.”

Delivering Resilience, Safety, and Efficiency

The implementation of the Port-Log Forecast Extension is already delivering key benefits to the Port of Tyne:

Operational Resilience: Real-time data enables proactive planning, reducing the impact of adverse weather conditions on marine and landside operations.

Enhanced Safety: Integrated forecasts help port authorities implement safety measures to protect vessels, cargo, and personnel.

Improved Efficiency: A clearer understanding of forecasted conditions alongside live data assists in optimising scheduling and resource allocation, minimising downtime and maximising productivity.

A Step Forward for Environmental Monitoring

This latest development underscores OceanWise’s commitment to delivering smart, flexible, and customer-focused solutions that make marine operations safer, more efficient, and better informed. With over a decade of expertise in marine data management, OceanWise continues to support ports and harbours in leveraging technology to enhance operational resilience and sustainability.
