Metocean data products for maritime operations
Tidetech’s metocean data products are designed for real‑world maritime use — supporting operational decisions across voyage planning, port operations, optimisation platforms and navigation services.
Deep‑sea voyages benefit from wide‑area and global forecasts and hindcasts.
Ports and pilots need location‑specific high‑resolution tidal models.
OEM systems require integration‑ready datasets that suit their specific customers.
Optimisation software depends on precise, predictable, time‑step data.
Choosing the right model ensures accuracy, operational efficiency, and safety.
Global models
Large‑area datasets designed for vessel routing, fleet operations, and broad optimisation use. Includes:
- Global forecast and hindcast models (currents, waves, SST, meteorological, biochemistry)
- Global tides
- Global custom models (global combined currents, global waves, bathymetry, climatology)
Used in global voyage optimisation and routing platforms.
Regional high‑resolution models
Localised, fine‑scale datasets covering ports, straits, channels, and coastal operations.
Includes:
- High‑resolution tidal models
- Regional currents
- Region‑specific combined metocean datasets
Designed for coastal and port‑scale operational decisions.
Weather and specialist datasets
Global meteorology products and purpose‑built products for high‑risk or weather‑sensitive routes. Includes:
- Global and local meteorology
- Cyclone and storm datasets
- Wave‑current interaction models
- Region‑specific hazard layers
Used in voyage and route optimisation, and insurance applications.
S‑100 series datasets
Next‑generation navigation data built to IHO standards. Includes:
- S‑104 water level
- S‑111 surface currents
Supports operational S‑100 services and national hydrographic programmes.
Custom modelling
For operators with unique regions, parameters, or integration requirements.
Tidetech’s modelling team develops custom hydrodynamic models tailored to specific operational needs.
Can support offshore and undersea operational decisions and defence applications.
Choose the right product
When choosing a dataset, consider:
- Required spatial resolution
- Time‑step accuracy for your workflow
- Forecast vs hindcast vs nowcast
- Data format (GRIB, netCDF, API, S‑100, OEM‑ready integrations)
- Integration point
Scientific validation and realiability
Our data is created, curated and validated by oceanographers, specialist software developers, and navigators, using proprietary hydrodynamic modelling, satellite measurements and observational inputs.
It is tested through real‑world commercial trials and used across the maritime sector.
Next step
The ocean doesn’t sit still. Good decisions require data that keeps up.
