The Challenge
Develop a web application that integrates all the information from the operational ocean prediction and real-time observation systems of Puertos del Estado.
The Results
PORTUS, was the first added-value application focused on operational oceanography that Nologin developed for Puertos del Estado in 2012.
The tool consisted of a web app that allows any user viewing an entire set of Puertos del Estado ocean predictions, from the regional to the port scale ones, as well as an extensive network of instrumental measurements from multiple international providers. All the information provided by the webservice come from the database and oceanographic data dissemination services of Puertos del Estado.
PORTUS, allows visualization of both animations of surface fields, including waves, temperature and other variables, as well as representation of time series at control points, defined by Puertos del Estado. These results can be integrated in the form of widgets within third-party web pages, for example from Port Authorities, and they can be downloaded in a simplified way in the format of static maps, allowing offline management in low connectivity environments (e.g. on board of vessels).
The Client
Puertos del Estado, is the State Ports Public Body, a body dependent on the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda that is responsible for the execution of the port policy of the Government of Spain, coordinating and controlling the efficiency of the Spanish Port System.
