Integrating AI and Metocean Data in Offshore Operational Planning
As offshore energy operations expand into deeper, more volatile waters, accurate and timely weather forecasting becomes increasingly vital. Traditional forecasting tools, while useful, often lack the resolution and immediacy required for local, dynamic decision-making. By integrating real-time metocean measurements with artificial-intelligence-powered forecasting systems, operators can gain sharper, site-specific insight to optimise offshore operations. This article explores how these technologies are being deployed, particularly at sites such as the DanTysk wind farm, to improve weather window reliability, increase operational efficiency, and enhance crew safety, offering a glimpse of what future-ready forecasting looks like in the offshore energy industry.
