In projects such as those listed above, each operation has its own important types and elements of information, as well as operational limits. Weathernews "Risk Communicators" provide precise information on weather/hydrographic conditions and operation-related consulting. The services are tailored to the relevant operational limits and the customer's work conditions. Support is provided twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year so that work done at sea is not only safe, but also managed in an economical and efficient manner.
Means of communication are often limited at sea, but even in such cases, we utilize tools to provide ample information in a more straightforward and accurate manner. In addition to an abundance of general information, including weather charts, wave charts, GPV wave data, sea warnings, and radar images, we provide real-time information based on point forecasts to aid in decision-making. We provide up-to-the-minute consulting based on information provided for customer decision-making by Weathernews risk communicators, who have expert knowledge regarding customers and weather/hydrographic conditions.
With the world's largest weather database, Weathernews excels at providing services to sea-based work around the world. We currently have five operation centers for sea-based work support in Japan, Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East, and satisfy customer needs in a variety of oceanographic areas. In the years ahead, we will be able to provide more expandable services by gathering and analyzing the needs and demands of customers around the world in an unified manner at our Global Center (in Japan).
