Case Study: Orkney Harbours improves website usability and live shipping information with NB Communication

Orkney Harbours saves VTS staff time with NB Communication as live shipping data reaches hundreds of daily users

Orkney Harbours, a port authority, faced challenges with its outdated website, which suffered from poor usability, a confusing navigation structure, and a lack of mobile compatibility. Their marine staff also found the content management system inefficient and time-consuming for critical updates, particularly for shipping information. They enlisted NB Communication to redesign the site and improve its functionality.

NB Communication developed a new, streamlined website with a simplified structure and integrated several live data systems, including weather, AIS, and a port management information system. This solution allowed vital information to be updated in one place and displayed dynamically across the site. The result for Orkney Harbours was a highly usable site where popular features like the live dashboard are accessed by hundreds of users daily, saving staff significant time and providing reliable, up-to-date information.
