WindCube Scan for Maritime

WindCube Scan
Explore Edition

Long-range, 3D wind data for efficient, safe port operations.

Overview

WindCube Scan

 

Modern, laser-based weather sensors capture 3D spatial wind data for detailed situational awareness in every corner of complex port areas — making it an invaluable asset for understanding wind behaviors and patterns. By better understanding the spatial distribution of the wind field, ports can improve traffic management significantly.

WindCube® Scan Explore Edition is the industry’s tool of choice for maximizing safety, efficiency, and operational continuity. By providing precise spatial wind data at ranges up to more than 10 km, WindCube Scan can create a virtual dome around the port area (the equivalent of thousands of anemometers) so you can measure, understand and act on current — and ever-changing — conditions. This capability enhances the efficiency and safety of crane operations, ensuring smooth and secure operations even in challenging conditions. Moreover, the precise wind data supports the improvement of Dynamic Mooring Systems, preventing damage and ensuring secure berthing.

Ports in a storm: Safer and stronger

Seaports are vulnerable by nature, and often made worse by their locations in urban areas. See how a promising, multinational wind and weather analysis project with the University of Genoa is now underway to help ports be better prepared for storms — especially sudden winds.
