Statistical analysis of metocean variables

Ideal for project planning and tender preparation, these present a summary of the conditions that may be expected in a specified area. Met Office consultants assist with selecting the most appropriate report for your requirements.

Offshore downtime analysis

A valuable tool for planning specific operational activities or making budgetary estimates for work offshore anywhere around the world. Taking into account wind or wave conditions, as well as the operational thresholds of the work being carried out, the analysis provides you with a detailed picture of past weather-related downtime, including time lost 'waiting on weather'.

Extreme value analysis - return periods

The successful design of an offshore structure or completion of an open ocean tow may be dependent on the ability of equipment to withstand severe environmental loadings. Met Office consultants use statistical techniques to quantify the wind speed or wave height that may occur within the projected lifespan of your project.

Offshore spells analysis

Providing location-specific global coverage using Met Office wave model data, the spells analysis offers valuable guidance for planning offshore operations requiring a minimum time period for successful delivery, based on the operating thresholds specified for your project.
