MetraWeather delivers customised forecasts for major PNG gas project
MetraWeather | 2 April 2014
MetraWeather
is delivering customised state-of-the-art weather, wave and
hazard forecasts to customers in Papua New Guinea, including
a PNG LNG (liquefied natural gas) project, to help increase
safety and operational efficiency.
Safety is critical,
with the LNG plant’s marine terminal as the designated
point for loading liquefied natural gas onto
ships.
“It can take 24 hours to load each vessel.
Safe berthing, loading and departure are major
considerations of LNG marine operations. The weather
forecasting products will provide accurate real-time and
forecast information to help the Project plan its
operations,” said MetraWeather Business Development
Manager, Peter Fisher.
With local weather forecasting focussed on public forecasts rather than specialised industrial forecasting, MetraWeather will provide the Project’s LNG Plant with detailed forecasting.
A
MetraWeather meteorologist interprets weather data feeds and
delivers daily briefings including wind, wave, and weather
forecasts, as well as a weather threat matrix forecasting
the likelihood of heavy rain, gales and lightning.
“The
forecasts will help reduce downtime, increase efficiency and
help improve health and safety compliance,” Fisher
said.
