A Victoria-based company is using its AI-driven marine weather data platform as part of new innovative projects seeking to enhance maritime safety, streamline marine operations, and build climate-resilient coastlines.

These novel initiatives, spearheaded by MarineLabs, will take place at the Port of Vancouver and the Port of Prince Rupert.

Each project, funded by the province, delivers real-time weather updates, coastal images, and useful data to service users.

One such partnership involves MarineLabs providing services to clients such as Hullo Ferry, helping optimize their operations between Nanaimo and Vancouver. By tracking real-time wave, wind and coastal data along the route, the ferry company can make more informed scheduling decisions and improve service reliability and safety.

Hundreds of kilometres to the north, the company supports the Port of Prince Rupert by helping optimize engineering decisions, making the proposed facility's construction and design safer, more cost-effective, and efficient.

Data collected from buoys in each project helps refine the company香蕉视频直播檚 machine-learning models, continually enhancing the accuracy and reliability of its coastal weather forecasts for users.
