In an in-depth study over a two-month period from December 2023 to February 2024 at a site on the East coast of Canada, MarineLabs’ Forecast AI produced impressive results versus currently available models. Breaking the test period into 182 eight-hour work shifts, Forecast AI made 23% more correct calls due to significant wave height exceeding critical safety thresholds for port operations than a trusted publicly available forecast model at a decision threshold time of 24 hours.
To date, in aggregate over 32 locations in MarineLabs’ sensor network with forecasting available, Forecast AI has 50% lower average errors in predicting weather parameters compared to publicly available maritime forecast models. Access to this kind of tactical, highly reliable, hyper-local forecast data with customizable alerts specific to weather thresholds offers new efficiencies and levels of trust in decision-making for mariners and ports, such as the Port of Halifax, who, along with other Canadian ports, helped beta test Forecast AI.
Forecast AI is accessed through MarineLabs’ CoastAware subscription platform. You can view detailed wind and wave forecast information for up to seven days and set up SMS and email notifications for specific weather conditions based on your operational and safety procedures.
