HyPORT is a fully integrated real-time Coastal monitoring system designed to assist with port operations including vessel scheduling, movements and cargo optimization.
Using a seabed mounted Acoustic Wave And Current Profiler (AWAC), the system measures current speed and direction through the water column from near seabed to near surface. In addition to currents, the AWAC provides directional wave and tide data.
Typically, the AWAC is located adjacent to the shipping channel with the measured data being sent via a robust underwater cable to a nearby channel beacon, breakwater or buoy where data is then forwarded via 4G IP communications or a point to point radio modem connection.
The 4G IP connection provides seamless access to the AWAC instrument allowing full remote diagnostics and configuration of the instrument.
Data measured by the HyPORT system is often coupled to under keel clearance software to assist with safely managing vessel loading and transits in and out of the port.
HyQuest Solutions offers field services like installation, integration and maintenance, too.
