Who this solution is for
This solution is designed for organisations building or operating maritime navigation systems, including:
- ECDIS and sub‑ECDIS manufacturers
- Recreational charting and navigation software vendors
- Vessel traffic management and VTS platforms
- Integrated bridge and situational‑awareness systems
- Maritime technology providers embedding navigation intelligence
Tidetech supports OEMs whose products are used in real operational environments, where accuracy, reliability and continuity matter.
The challenge maritime OEMs face
Navigation systems are expected to do more than display position.
OEMs increasingly need to support:
- Safer decision‑making in dynamic conditions
- Operation beyond static charts and tables
- Regulatory and standards‑aligned data delivery
- Scalable performance across global and regional contexts
Many systems still rely on limited, interpolated or static tidal and current information, which can introduce uncertainty and inconsistency — especially in coastal, tidal or high‑traffic environments.
Designed for integration in OEM platforms
Tidetech products are built for dependable integration into navigation systems.
They integrate with:
- ECDIS and sub‑ECDIS platforms
- Charting and navigation applications
- VTS and traffic‑management systems
- OEM hardware and software stacks
Delivery options include API access, S‑100 aligned services and industry‑standard formats such as GRIB and NetCDF, depending on system architecture and regulatory requirements.
Supporting standards and future navigation
Tidetech actively supports emerging navigation standards and modernisation efforts.
We work with OEMs and authorities on:
- S‑100 aligned datasets and services
- Transition from static to dynamic navigation data
- Validation and operational use of next‑generation products
This helps OEMs future‑proof their platforms while maintaining operational reliability today.
Built on scientific validation and operational trust
All Tidetech products used by navigation OEMs are:
- Developed and sourced by oceanographers and specialist developers
- Scientifically validated against observations
- Proven in real‑world maritime use
- Supported over time as products evolve
This ensures continuity and confidence for OEMs whose customers depend on their systems.
