5.3 Global Port Tide Predictions

Description#

The Global Port Tide Predictions retrieves 24-hour tidal variation data from global tide gauge stations. Tidal height is calculated against the tidal datum specific to each port; as tidal datums vary by port, this shall be noted when requesting and computing data.
Note: A port tide gauge station is not equivalent to a port defined in the vessel tracking system. Use the tide gauge station’s port_code for queries, not the standard 5-digit port code.

Use Cases#

1.
Vessel Navigation Safety
Safe Navigation: Tidal data is critical for vessel safety in complex waters such as narrow channels and shallow shoals. Masters may reference tidal data to monitor water depth fluctuations and implement preventive measures to avoid reef strikes, groundings and other casualties.
2.
Port Operations & Management
Port Infrastructure Construction & Maintenance: The design and upkeep of port facilities (wharves, navigation channels, breakwaters, etc.) require tidal data as a reference. For instance, wharf elevation and channel depth design shall account for water depths at highest and lowest tides to ensure normal berthing and navigation across all tidal stages.
Vessel Entry/Exit Scheduling: Port water depth varies with tides; deep-draft vessels can only enter or depart the port at high tide. With tidal data, port dispatch teams may optimize vessel arrival/departure windows to prevent groundings from insufficient water depth and improve port operational efficiency.
3.
Emergency Rescue & Response
Emergency Disposal & Safety Support: In marine incidents such as vessel groundings or collisions, tidal data enables rescue authorities to quickly assess on-site hydrological conditions and formulate effective rescue plans.
