04 Mar STRENGTHENING HARBOUR OPERATIONS THROUGH NEW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
The Harbour Master’s department is now using new digital tools to support day-to-day operations across the harbour. The system brings together the mapping of thousands of owned and third-party marine assets with a range of charting and imagery, covering our 36 square kilometre jurisdiction and 150 kilometres of complex coastline. The team also uses the Vessel Planner tool to inform berthing assessments and operational planning.
Harry Gregory, Poole Harbour Master, said:
“As one of the largest natural harbours in the world with a diverse set of users and environmental considerations, PHC have always had a lot of high-quality data, a highly professional hydrographic regime and a huge amount of knowledge among colleagues. GISGRO has been an amazing force multiplier in unlocking the true benefit for everyone on the team in an easily accessible and intuitive single platform.”
