COWES HARBOUR COMMISSION<\/p>\n
Two new environmental monitoring stations on the River Medina on the Isle of Wight are now helping commercial and leisure vessels navigate the harbour safely.<\/p>\n
Cowes Harbour\u00a0Commission (CHC) and OceanWise completed the project to install a fixed weather station at Shepards Marina providing tide height and visibility information and a floating\u00a0weather station in the main harbour giving information on\u00a0harbour wind speed and direction,\u00a0temperature and barometric pressure. Data is then fed to the online Cowes\u00a0Weather Station on the CHC website.<\/p>\n
Cowes Harbour Master Ed Walker said that navigational safety was the harbour\u2019s top priority. \u201cThe new Cowes\u00a0Weather Station is the latest CHC stakeholder benefit project\u00a0designed to help\u00a0us, leisure and commercial stakeholders continue to operate safely,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Monitoring the environment<\/p>\n
\u201cDelivered\u00a0with\u00a0OceanWise\u2019s expertise in marine data it will also enable CHC to monitor\u00a0and manage key environmental\u00a0data for the harbour.”<\/p>\n
OceanWise has installed similar\u00a0systems at other ports in the UK, including\u00a0ABP Southampton, London, Dover and Liverpool. For this project at Cowes,\u00a0the company used a range\u00a0of monitoring instruments including the Valeport Tide Gauge and Biral\u00a0Visibility\u00a0Sensor. Data from the sensors is collected and transmitted using\u00a0the company\u2019s telemetry\u00a0service and data management and display system\u00a0(Port-Log).<\/p>\n
