netH₂O Smart Buoy for Ports, Marinas & Waterways
Real-time water quality and metocean data for ports, marinas, canals and waterways, from the netH₂O B770 buoy.
The netH₂O B770 buoy provides environmental monitoring for ports, marinas, canals, water basins, lakes, and inland waterways. The base platform includes temperature measurement and wave/current estimation, with automatic data upload to operators and stakeholders; add TriOS application packs for the water-quality parameters your site needs.
Ports & Harbour Management
Continuous environmental monitoring for operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
- Water quality: dissolved oxygen, conductivity/salinity, chlorophyll-a and turbidity via TriOS packs
- Navigation safety: wave and current conditions at harbour entrances
- Compliance: continuous documentation of water-quality parameters for reporting
- Early warning: alerts when conditions exceed defined thresholds
Deploy buoys across port areas to build a monitoring network with real-time alerts.
Marina Operations & Yacht Harbours
Support guest safety, environmental stewardship, and operational efficiency.
- Berth conditions: real-time wave and surge data at berths or marina zones
- Water quality: monitor for contamination events
- Situational awareness: combine buoy data with weather feeds
- Guest services: share real-time water conditions and forecasts
Vessel-transit tracking via AI acoustic triangulation is available as a custom configuration on request.
Canals & Inland Waterways
Address the monitoring challenges of inland waterways.
- Flow conditions: current speed and direction in canals and rivers
- Navigation: track changes that affect transit
- Quality trends: detect pollution events and track water-quality trends
- Lock operations: support scheduling with real-time data
Lakes & Water Basins
Essential monitoring for lakes, reservoirs, and artificial basins.
- Recreational safety: conditions for swimming, boating, and water sports
- Water-supply management: quality parameters in drinking-water reservoirs
- Environmental protection: detect algal blooms, track oxygen and temperature
- Level monitoring: early warning of water-level changes
Super-Resolution Wave Forecasts & Hindcasts — Sensorica Data Platform (SDP)
netH₂O buoys connect to the Sensorica Data Platform (SDP) by Sensorica LTD, which adds super-resolution wave forecasts and hindcasts for complex coastlines to your in-situ measurements. For ports, marinas, and waterways this supports navigation-safety forecasting at entrances and berths, dredging and operations planning, and hindcast reconstruction for harbour design — resolving high-resolution wave fields for structurally complex, nearshore coastlines where standard models lose accuracy.
