Two newly launched products – Water Level Information (S-104) and Surface Currents (S-111) – mark a significant step forward in Norway's digital maritime navigation offering. For the first time, mariners and developers can access standardized, real-time forecasts of water levels and currents as data products ready to integrate directly with electronic charts.

Built for next-generation Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), both products give software developers immediate access to standardized, up-to-date data. The ultimate beneficiaries are mariners, who gain more accurate and reliable information for safer, more efficient voyages.

"By providing forecasts of water levels and currents as products that can be combined with charts, the maritime sector

The deal, supported by the British Embassy in Lisbon, marks the first time that NOC has transferred ALR technology to a public research agency rather than through a commercial contract, establishing a new model for international partnerships and exports of UK marine technology.
