MetOcean Consultancy
We provide tailor made consultancy related to marine weather and ocean environment.
We can answer the following questions for you:
- How much work can be done in a certain area during winter vs. summer?
- What weather conditions and weather windows can you expect?
- Are the wave conditions suitable for your vessel?
- Should you upgrade the vessel in order to handle higher waves?
Customized forecast, hind cast and advice to marine projects are offered along with specialized risk analysis reports.
A MetOcean consultancy report can be tailored to your individual requirements, focusing on the parameters that are most important, so that you can confidently plan structural designs or marine operations and thus reduce expensive operational down-time.
Here you can read about a report we have made for an offshore wind farm operator.

7Seas MetOcean hindcast web portal
If, instead of a report, you want to actively dig into the data yourself, our 7Seas portal is a web service that provides metocean data analytics that is tailormade for planning any marine operation in connection with planning of installation, operation, and maintenance of an offshore windfarm.
For the required offshore position, you can see:
- a selection of rose plots and tables for winds, waves and surface currents,
- monthly means and percentiles for winds, waves, surface current, temperature, precipitation and humidity,
- weather window calculations for wind speed, swell height and significant wave height,
- joint probability analysis table for significant wave height and peak period,
- extreme value calculations and plot for winds and significant wave height.
The standard setup makes use of global ERA5 hindcast data and HYCOM surface current reanalysis data. However, if the customer prefers metocean hindcast from even higher quality regional or local model setups this can be included.
Furthermore, if the customer has measurement data this can be included to make a validation of the hindcast data and therefore provide vital quality measure of the hindcast data and the analytics calculated.
Additionally, a ramp up / ramp down analysis will be carried out to validate the calculated weather windows. This analysis will also provide a quality assessment of how well the hindcast model will perform when forecasting during project execution.
