HiSea Project to Hold Webinar on the Value of High-Resolution Sea Water Quality Data Services it Brings to Ports

The virtual event will demonstrate how high-resolution sea water quality data can improve port operations, lower maintenance costs, minimize damage to infrastructure and improve readiness to extreme weather conditions.

Valencia, Spain, June 2, 2020 – The EU-funded HiSea Project will hold a special webinar to demonstrate how ports can benefit from high-resolution water quality data services on Thursday, June 4^th, 2020.

Representatives of ports, port authorities, and other institutions interested in maintaining see water quality, are invited to participate in the virtual workshop. Participants will learn how high-resolution water quality data can improve port operations, lower maintenance costs, minimize damage to infrastructure and improve readiness to extreme weather conditions.

HiSea is developing innovative services to provide more reliable and accurate forecasts and alerts regarding water quality at and around ports.  Co-designed with end-users to answer real needs of the port sector, the services will be demonstrated to obtain feedback and update the final product to fulfill expectations.

The hands-on event will focus on:

• Oil Spill Clean-Up – forecast oil spill trajectory for specific event and plan effective, efficient response.
  
  
• Port Flushing and water quality – easily measure your port’s ability to flush the port basin.
  
  
• Safe Port Depth – detect water depth based on hydrodynamic conditions.
  
  
• Extreme weather preparedness – make sure that port infrastructure can withstand extreme weather conditions by using information on water levels, current and significant wave height.
