Metocean Route and Site Assessment

Home » What We Do » Marine Operations » Metocean Route and Site Assessment

Service Introduction

Longitude provides an in-house offering in metocean modelling and coastal engineering, providing the client with high-quality data and specifically tailored analysis to support marine operations and assets from concept through to decommissioning.

Our expert metocean route and site assessment services can be applied to a wide range of projects, with the findings working in parallel with the engineering and design to ensure informed design decisions to withstand the meteorological risks identified at different phases.

Metocean & Site Assessment Challenges

  • Climate change and extreme weather:
    increasingly unpredictable weather patterns require precise and real-time data analysis solutions to influence design decisions for long-term resilience and performance.
  • Cost risks:

    Advanced metocean data and site assessment can significantly reduce financial risk through the optimisation of design and operations.
  • Regulatory compliance:

    making forensic metocean analysis crucial to permitting and compliance.
  • Supply chain and logistics: 

    Poor weather windows and harsh meteorological conditions can increase the risk of delays to transportation and installation (T&I) and operations and maintenance (O&M) schedules, creating a knock-on effect on the wider supply chain and marine sites. Metocean data is critical for as accurate as possible, project planning.
  • Environmental sustainability:

    Appreciating the oceanographic conditions informs design decisions that minimise ecological impact, enabling more sustainable marine development
