Solution
Current, waves and wind in the harbour
Measurement systems showing the current at the quay, the water level, the waves and the wind in real time – for pilots, masters and port staff. Up-to-date values make port calls and mooring safer. During dredging we monitor turbidity around the works, with alarms before the limits are reached.
))
What we measure
We choose the measurements for the harbour’s conditions and the decisions the values should support.
Current
Current meters at the quay or pier measuring the speed and direction of the current.
Water level
Radar sensors measuring the level without touching the water.
Waves
Wave height and period where the sea state affects work in the harbour.
Wind
Marine wind sensors that withstand salt, with gusts and high-wind alarms.
Visibility
Visibility sensors that show when the fog rolls in.
Ships on the map
Ships in the fairway from AIS, shown on a chart-like map on a live data page.
Turbidity during dredging
Turbidity sensors on buoys or fixed frames around the dredging, with alarms before the limits are reached.
What your data can look like
The speed and direction of the current at the pier over a day, as pilots and masters see it.

How we deliver
The same person follows your station from the first sketch to service.
Design
Review of the harbour’s needs, siting of sensors and communication.
Installation
Installation on the quay, pier or a mast, with equipment that withstands salt and ice.
Data collection
Data via telemetry to the port’s systems and a continuously updated live data page.
Service
Service under an agreement and remote troubleshooting.
Equipment we use
We choose instruments to suit the site and the task. These are often part of it.
Frequently asked questions
Can the values be shown to pilots and masters?
Yes. We build live data pages that work on a phone on the bridge and on a large screen in the control room, with a map and ships from AIS.
How often are the values updated?
That is chosen for your needs. Current and wind are often shown at intervals of a few minutes.
Does the equipment cope with salt and ice?
We choose sensors and materials for the marine environment and place them where they are protected but easy to service.
