Could this be the end of rescheduling vessels for the developer sector? Jana and the team here at NeuWave think so.
Currently, captains and operators must decide whether to leave port each morning based on fragmented forecasts, local conditions, and their well-honed intuition. It’s not always perfect, and potentially viable days can be missed. It’s not necessarily the wrong call to skip a day that looks stormy; they’re keeping their teams and boats safe.
But essential maintenance jobs and new infrastructure construction are often slowed by these avoidable delays – and this costs millions per project.
Newly emerging technologies allow us to understand nearshore wave conditions much more deeply, and to predict their movements more accurately. And thankfully, this is now being funded.
NeuWave data models operate at an industry-leading 500m grid resolution and are used to plan routes for the expected monthly conditions. On the day, NeuWave tools validates their forecasts against 50+ third-party sources, and suggests alternative leaving times and routing plans.
Inspired by the manual decision making that is made each day, we wanted to offer a platform for transparent weather-sensitive routing that considers live conditions and historical weather pattern trends. Demo results show an ability to simulate wave heights to a standard error of less than 1cm, smashing all existing industry standards.
Based on commercial demos with Scotland-based engineering firms across the Celtic and Hebridean Seas, our intuitive web platform is designed to help vessel coordinators and captains to quickly decide which times to go offshore, which routes they can take, or whether it’s better to wait until tomorrow.
The go/no-go decision tool can add a potential of 21 additional operating days each year. Depending on the stage and scale of the project that’s between £2.1m- £100m saved per year.
A captain’s decisions aren’t just made at port. When on site, vessel coordinators and captains constantly factor in wind wave heights, swell wave heights, wind speeds, lightning movements, and more to make time-sensitive decisions which must be clearly documented each day.
We’re supporting decision making on the move, with industry-leading data resolution and dynamic, reliable navigation options – new sheltering zones, port scheduling, or job rescheduling, all live and in one place.
Using cutting-edge AI to analyse over 30 years’ hindcast data and live buoy feeds, captains can now utilise millions of past decisions to gain clearer answers today. NeuWave harnesses the power of big data to empower captains with several alternative options during time-critical weather windows.
Our founder Jana Stella says, “we’re here to ensure the success of offshore construction and maintenance, even through uncertain conditions.” The go/no-go decision tool is part of the larger WAVE toolkit, designed specifically for offshore industries, helping to keep them moving when the sector can least afford delays.
We’ve already started onboarding clients on two wind farm sites within just weeks of closing the most recent funding round.
The limited-time launch promo includes free onboarding for service vessel companies, with nothing to pay for new customers until NeuWave saves you your first day offshore.
