Spatial Data Management & GIS

OceanWise > Compliance Overview > Spatial Data Management & GIS
Realise the full benefits of using Geographic Information Systems

Everything happens somewhere! Spatial data, also known as geospatial data, is data related to, or containing information about, a specific location.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analysing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information

Our unique experience in the marine domain, expertise in marine data and marine GIS means that we are perfectly placed to help you realise the full benefits of using GIS whether it be it open source like QGIS, or using a commercial software programme like Cadcorp.

As our training and mentoring is specifically tailored to those working in the marine environment and its challenges, we can help you apply GIS to manage and manipulate your land, marine and environmental data while implementing best practice.


Marine Mapping Services

If you don’t have access to a GIS we can create mapping outputs for your specific need, such as ENCs or other maps for critical projects or operations. We will build the outputs and if at any point you decide to take GIS in-house, the data can be easily transferred.

We deliver ENCs for ports where standard navigational charts may not provide the crucial navigational detail necessary for planning and decision-making during passage. We can take your high-resolution bathymetry, accurate land mapping data and central source of Aids to Navigation to create a Port ENC – a higher resolution equivalent of a standard Hydrographic Office published ENC. These are provided in formats that can be easily uploaded into Portable Pilot Units, or other key systems, such as VTS.


Compliance

GIS provides the user with a picture – which enables quick situational awareness and therefore supports decision making and compliance. For example, a layer of access points added to a map can assist with emergency response in the case of an incident; linking survey records to a map of survey areas can support the prioritisation of planned surveys.

We provide applications, advice and training to improve data management and ensure compliance:

  • Marine Data Management
  • Data Management Training, Consultancy and Advice
  • Asset Management System


GIS Training and Mentoring

Most GIS software and off the shelf training courses are developed and targeted towards managing terrestrial assets. We target our training to those working in the marine environment. As marine data experts, we have worked with various GIS platforms, specifically Esri, Cadcorp, MapInfo and QGIS. We can help you apply these systems to manage and manipulate marine and environmental data while implementing best practice.
