DTN APAC offers a comprehensive suite of services, refined through years of collaboration with the marine, ports and offshore industries, to optimise the safety and efficiency of your operations.
We work with you to understand your intrinsic operational challenges and customise high-precision forecasting, metocean and aviation services to your exact location and operational scope.
When working offshore, our solutions can underpin planning and safe execution for offshore oil and gas enterprises and wind farms. Our data can support your exploration, development, rig moving, shuttle tanker operations, and production and decommissioning phases. Whether your crews are on-site, being transported to shore, or diving to perform maintenance, we deliver tailored weather risk briefings to ensure you choose the optimal time to proceed.
DTN APAC’s trusted nowcasting and forecasting system, OpticastTM, allows you to rapidly respond to changing conditions offshore, en route and in port. We take your port topography and berth orientation into account, ensuring site-specific forecasts. For offshore oil & gas, wind farms, ports and logistics, we have your weather situational awareness covered, no matter where you are. We deliver real-time severe weather and lightning alerts to your team via your integrated dashboard: Portzone, and our Weatherguard app.
DTN APAC’s Total Lightning Network (TLN) ensures you avoid hours of unnecessary downtime by providing the most accurate technology in lightning detection and alerting. Safeguard your teams and assets with lighting and Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs), customised to your existing parameters and delivered in real-time across all devices in your network. You gain full spatial awareness of developing severe weather systems, allowing you to plan ahead and, where needed, execute your shutdown and evacuation procedures.
With extreme conditions slowing production and affecting infrastructure, safety and transport, trust us to deliver Australia’s most precise weather data and tailored insight, giving you decisive confidence when it’s most needed.
We have developed Portzone – an interface that is tailored to your site, operations and weather risk, and is currently operational at most major ports and offshore facilities in Australia. Portzone delivers relevant and verified data in easily visualised formats, with tools and insights enabling you to make critical decisions quickly. High definition and easily viewed on phone, tablet, PC and large screen.
Gain both the awareness of local wind systems that are undetectable on general forecasting models, and the accuracy of our Total Lighting Network detection to <200m, with integrated alerting. Optimise your response to incoming severe weather.
Validated forecasting and real-time metocean data improve your marine safety and minimise unnecessary downtime. Gain the best visibility of any conditions that could potentially impact your supply chain and operations.
Our operational forecasts give you the foresight to plan effectively. Our data supports the safe and efficient execution of exploration, development, rig moving, production and decommissioning phases of your offshore oil and gas or wind project.
We thrive on challenge, next-generation science and customised service, and are dedicated to helping you stay ahead of the game.
Metocean Services
Our metocean services provide you with:
We customise to your exact requirements, and provide operation forecast summaries based on your marine infrastructure, both on and offshore.
Weatherguard App
Mobile access to areas of interest, forecasts, operational windows and alerting for severe weather and lightning is delivered via our Weatherguard App. Custom built to ensure the effective and timely communication of key data across your team, whether they are on-site, at sea or on shore.
We work to bring you complete situational awareness – offshore, in transit and in the air – so you can mitigate risk and maximise your productivity and profits.
Tropical Cyclone Fina has turned towards the Northern Territory coast and is expected to make landfall over the Top End on Friday, November 21, 2025. The system could then regain strength over the warm Van Diemen Gulf, before passing close to Darwin on the weekend. The last tropical cyclone to directly impact Darwin was Tropical […]
A tropical low currently developing over the Timor Sea has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone later this week, with a possibility of landfall somewhere in the Northern Territory or Western Australia. Key industries could be impacted including Ports, Mining, Transport, and Agriculture. The satellite images below show cloud circulating around the developing […]
Sea surface temperatures exceeding 31°C off the coast of northern Australia and an active phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) are increasing the likelihood of early-season tropical cyclone activity, with hints of the season’s first tropical cyclone coming as early as next week. Tropical cyclones require sea surface temperature of 26.5°C or warmer to develop, […]
The 2025-26 tropical cyclone season has begun with abnormally warm oceans surrounding northern Australia, signalling an increased risk for severe tropical cyclones in the coming months. The Australian tropical cyclone season runs from November 1 to April 30. During this six-month period, there are usually about 9 to 10 tropical cyclones in the Australian region, […]
