Positive feedback from industry, coupled with knowledge of the benefit that metocean awareness brings to individuals and their organisations, has encouraged the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) to roll out five Metocean courses on four continents during 2014.

The optimum use of metocean (meteorology and oceanography) information and expertise can contribute to improved safety and reduced costs for the design and operations of offshore installations and vessels. It quantifies the impact of winds, waves, currents, water levels and other parameters such as air and sea temperature, visibility etc. And provides a range of products and services to display and report information such as real-time data, weather forecasts, 100 year extremes and weather downtime statistics.
