Miros introduces a vessel-specific 3D visualisation to help operators interpret real-time wave measurements at critical offshore working locations
Norwegian ocean surface measurement specialist Miros has introduced a new 3D vessel view for its WaveSystem wave monitoring platform, giving crews and offshore operators a consolidated view of measured sea conditions around their vessel.
Designed to support weather-critical offshore operations, the new interface displays the location of each installed measurement source alongside its measurement area and key wave data. The bird’s-eye view enables crews to relate real-time sea state measurements to specific areas of the vessel and make more informed operational decisions.
The feature is included for WaveSystem subscribers worldwide at no additional cost.
Wave conditions can differ around a vessel due to wave direction, vessel heading, hull geometry, shielding, and measurement location. Where multiple measurement sources are installed, comparing readings can help teams clearly understand differences between measurement areas and sea conditions affecting specific working areas.
“A wave reading is more useful when the crew can see where it comes from and how it relates to the work,” said Aurelia Paraschiv, Product Manager at Miros. “The 3D vessel view brings that context into one display, helping teams compare measured conditions around the vessel and understand which readings matter to their operation.”
Bridge and deck crew can easily assess conditions port and starboard, check the waves at a specific working area such as a gangway or ROV launch point, and spot differences between measurement areas before they affect the operation, turning a weather-critical operation into a controlled one.
Marius Five Aarset, CEO at Miros, added: “The 3D vessel view automatically adapts to each vessel’s installed WaveSystem configuration, whether it carries two, three or more measurement sources. The data displayed reflects the equipment and accurate sea state measurement at its installation points on the vessel.”
“We are committed and proud to support our customers in better identifying and understanding relevant, local sea conditions in real-time rather than having to rely on out-of-the-moment forecasts or hindcast assumptions.”
The visualization shows measurement sources, areas, and values in relation to the vessel. It does not represent a reconstructed 3D sea surface.
