Vaisala has a decades-long tradition in providing solutions for maritime and offshore weather observation. Vaisala systems are used as an integral part of Helideck Environmental Monitoring Systems and Helideck Observing Systems. The products and systems meet the basic industry standards (CAP 437 and NORSOK N-002), while also fully complying with ICAO requirements and WMO recommendations.

The specifics of each harbour determine which parameters are to be monitored. Reliable and accurate visibility, wind direction and wind speed measurements are essential not only for port operations, but also for activities at the quay. In addition, oceanographic measurements such as wave period and height, sea level and salinity can be part of a modern system. The end result is increased safety and continuity of port operations.

Improved on-board equipment performance minimizes machine downtime while maximizing energy efficiency, resulting in cost savings. Monitoring engines, lubrication, hydraulic systems and compressed air using Vaisala’s accurate and stable measuring instruments helps insure the best machine performance.
