International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes the world’s most well-known standards for different areas of business from quality to health and safety.
The maritime industry, and port authorities as an important part of it, are facing growing demands for sustainability in terms of social, economic, and environmental issues.
The survey vessel buzzes around the port’s sea areas for a day or two. A couple of weeks later, you receive a two-page report from the hydrographic surveyor saying the clearance depths are ok and nothing noteworthy was found in the seaway or quayside. The huge .txt file the surveyor sent will be saved in…
Point clouds gathered from real-life structures or environment represent the current state of the surveyed object. Sometimes the object may change rapidly in time, sometimes it pretty much stays the same for decades. Regular surveys ensure the information of the structure stays up to date. The amount of point cloud data gathered worldwide is on…
Fast development of remote sensing technology has increased the supply and decreased the price of survey equipment. This means the amount of survey data is increasing in an accelerating pace. Too much of the data is still underused, and we think the survey industry should take an action to change this. In this article, we…

Many of us have lately stumbled on the fact that the information and tools used in our work need to be found easily, no matter where we work. In the port industry the working environment can be anything from the home office to the truck’s cabin, and the logistic industry is buzzing 24/7. This is…
USGS (the science agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior) describes remote sensing as “the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance”. Remote sensing allows us to survey large areas in short time, and to draw clear picture of our…
3D data has been an important part of safety in ports for a long time. Asset integrity and safe clearance depths are checked with regular 3D surveys, analyzing seabed erosion and accumulation, and possible damages on the structures, for example. Often, the analysis is done by a consultant or an engineering company because 3D data…
