Precise weather data to optimise your port and logistic operations

Do you have industry-leading weather data and alerting to minimise risk for your offshore, port or logistics operations?

Weatherzone Business offers a comprehensive suite of services, refined through years of collaboration with the marine, ports and offshore industries, to optimise the safety and efficiency of your operations.

We work with you to understand your intrinsic operational challenges and customise high-precision forecasting, metocean and aviation services to your exact location and operational scope.

When working offshore, our solutions can underpin planning and safe execution for offshore oil and gas enterprises and wind farms. Our data can support your exploration, development, rig moving, shuttle tanker operations, and production and decommissioning phases. Whether your crews are on-site, being transported to shore, or diving to perform maintenance, we deliver tailored weather risk briefings to ensure you choose the optimal time to proceed.

Weatherzone’s trusted nowcasting and forecasting system, OpticastTM, allows you to rapidly respond to changing conditions offshore, en route and in port. We take your port topography and berth orientation into account, ensuring site-specific forecasts. For offshore oil & gas, wind farms, ports and logistics, we have your weather situational awareness covered, no matter where you are. We deliver real-time severe weather and lightning alerts to your team via your integrated dashboard: Portzone, and our Weatherguard app.

Weatherzone’s Total Lightning Network (TLN) ensures you avoid hours of unnecessary downtime by providing the most accurate technology in lightning detection and alerting. Safeguard your teams and assets with lighting and Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs), customised to your existing parameters and delivered in real-time across all devices in your network. You gain full spatial awareness of developing severe weather systems, allowing you to plan ahead and, where needed, execute your shutdown and evacuation procedures.

With extreme conditions slowing production and affecting infrastructure, safety and transport, trust us to deliver Australia’s most precise weather data and tailored insight, giving you decisive confidence when it’s most needed.

Customise your weather data

We have developed Portzone – an interface that is tailored to your site, operations and weather risk, and is currently operational at most major ports and offshore facilities in Australia. Portzone delivers relevant and verified data in easily visualised formats, with tools and insights enabling you to make critical decisions quickly. High definition and easily viewed on phone, tablet, PC and large screen.

Lightning and Severe Weather Alerts

Gain both the awareness of local wind systems that are undetectable on general forecasting models, and the accuracy of our Total Lighting Network detection to <200m, with integrated alerting. Optimise your response to incoming severe weather.

Comprehensive Metocean Data

Validated forecasting and real-time metocean data improve your marine safety and minimise unnecessary downtime. Gain the best visibility of any conditions that could potentially impact your supply chain and operations.

Operational Forecasting

Our operational forecasts give you the foresight to plan effectively. Our data supports the safe and efficient execution of exploration, development, rig moving, production and decommissioning phases of your offshore oil and gas or wind project.

We don’t do status quo

We thrive on challenge, next-generation science and customised service, and are dedicated to helping you stay ahead of the game.

Metocean Services
Our metocean services provide you with:

  • high precision sea/swell forecasts
  • wave/buoy current sensor and tidal post-processing
  • tidal forecasts (including percentage of spring tide)
  • Operational Forecast Systems (marine) with all parameters such as wind.

We customise to your exact requirements, and provide operation forecast summaries based on your marine infrastructure, both on and offshore.

Weatherguard App
Mobile access to areas of interest, forecasts, operational windows and alerting for severe weather and lightning is delivered via our Weatherguard App. Custom built to ensure the effective and timely communication of key data across your team, whether they are on-site, at sea or on shore.

We work to bring you complete situational awareness – offshore, in transit and in the air – so you can mitigate risk and maximise your productivity and profits.

Wind farms facing potential cut outs

  Fierce winds are expected to lash parts of Vic, Tas, the ACT and NSW early next week, bringing the risk of wind farm cut outs in the region.  A low-pressure system should develop early next week near Vic and NSW as a cold front interacts with tropical moisture.  This cold front will sweep across SA […]

Exceptionally warm, dry March for parts of SA

Soaring temperatures and abundantly clear skies have just caused one of the warmest and driest Marches on record in parts of South Australia. Abnormally high pressure near southern Australia this month has kept rain-bearing systems away from SA, leading to plenty of warm and dry weather across the state. Image: Clear skies over SA on […]

Easter deluge possible as tropical moisture moves south

The tropical moisture that caused significant flooding in the NT and Qld is set to move southeast over Easter, bringing heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and possible flooding and damaging winds with it.  The map below shows the massive rainfall totals that fell across the southern NT and parts of Qld over the last week.  Image: The […]
