Unforeseen delays due to weather downtime can greatly disrupt your whole operation, incurring hefty losses.
TerraStats is a user-friendly, interactive tool designed to help you make quantitative estimates about offshore weather risk, using our historical data and your vessel’s weather thresholds.
The need to accurately estimate weather risk is crucial to:
- • Anticipate and incorporate weather-related risk & downtime into your schedule
- • Determine selection criteria for vessels and routes
- • Plan your long-term offshore projects
Current Solutions
Managers
and planners
traditionally
rely on:
In-House expertise to roughly estimate downtime probability
‘Weather windows’ type of feasibility studies
The Problems
- All companies experience attrition of experienced staff to competitors or through retirement
- Traditional weather studies are costly, have a long lead time, and require expert interpretation
- Estimates might not be exact, as they are done based on intuition or experience (e.g., exceedances)
- Feasibility studies lack the flexibility required to input specific vessel weather thresholds interactively
TerraStats
was designed to
address these problems

TerraCast
Forensic Weather
for Offshore Investigations
TerraCast is a service designed to retrieve forensic weather data for investigations, insurance claims, lawsuits and other purposes.
The majority of offshore companies incidents are caused by bad weather. Damage occurs when the weather conditions a vessel is exposed to exceed its weather thresholds. This presents numerous challenges as offshore, insurance companies and law firms are not experts on the weather:
It is hard to produce strong and reliable evidence for litigation. Estimates of past weather conditions based on experience or by manual observation can often be inaccurate or subjective.
Qualitative weather assessments without quantitative figures make damage evaluation difficult, especially for insurance companies. Without detailed weather data, it is also challenging to pinpoint the root cause of the issues and formulate compensation appropriately.
To accurately determine the cause of an offshore incident and obtain sturdy
evidence for your case, you need:
Vessels' weather thresholds
Past weather data at the specific
time and location of the incident
Objective expert analysis regarding the weather event
Accurately determine the cause of an offshore accident due to weather
TerraCast is a necessary step for investigating any offshore incident, whether you are the defendant or the claimant. We give you peace of mind by helping you uncover the facts: what really happened to the weather, and when:
