It’s been three years since we released the Singapore and Malacca Straits 800m high resolution tidal model. This model benefits vessels using route and speed optimisation systems in this busy stretch of water by taking advantage of accurate tidal speed, direction and height data to create bunkerage savings..

We’re very pleased to announce that we’ve developed a 50m tidal model for Rio – our highest resolution tidal model yet – and it’s being used by several Olympic sailing teams in preparation for the 2016 Games..

We’ve recently developed a new tidal model for the Straits of Gibraltar. This model will benefit all sorts of users but primarily commercial vessels heading into and out of the Mediterranean.

Tidetech has made a high resolution tidal model of the Gibraltar Strait available, with data provided by the University of Cadiz.

Applied oceanography specialist Tidetech has formed a partnership with leading tactical racing software developer Adrena to integrate its GRIB data products into Adrena's navigation software platform.

We will shortly be announcing a collaboration with Adrena, one of the leading tactical navigation software providers.

Applied oceanography specialist Tidetech will present the results of its recent route optimisation trial with a major cruise line at the Green Ship Technology (GST) conference in Copenhagen, 27-29 March 2012.

Applied oceanography specialist Tidetech has introduced tidal optimisation as a critical tool for improving efficiency on coastal shipping routes.

The last 10 miles of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race (from Iron Pot to the finish) has often been the graveyard of ambitions for many competitors. With the finish line in sight, fickle winds and tides make it a tactician’s nightmare, potentially wrecking an otherwise well-sailed race.

Sea surface temperature (SST) tells us a lot about the oceans. It can help pinpoint the exact position of currents and shows where warm and cold water meet at regions known as fronts or temperature breaks.
