Case Study: Peel Ports Group improves weather-critical decisions with StormGeo verified marine forecasts

Peel Ports Group reduces failed pilot boardings and landings with StormGeo

Peel Ports Group, a major UK port operator, faced a challenge in trusting the weather forecasts used for its critical marine operations, such as pilot boarding and vessel movements. The lack of forecast verification and accountability made it difficult to confidently act on the information, especially in marginal safety conditions. To address this, they partnered with vendor StormGeo for its verified marine weather intelligence service.

The solution implemented by StormGeo provided operationally-relevant forecasts backed by monthly KPI and verification reporting. This allowed Peel Ports to systematically assess performance and refine its weather monitoring strategies. As a result, trust in the forecasts increased significantly, leading to a measurable reduction in failed pilot boardings and landings. StormGeo's service provided a stronger foundation for decision-making, enhancing both the safety and efficiency of operations across the port network.
