PortWatch: Stockpile and Port Monitoring from Space
Regular satellite monitoring for ports and terminals: stockpiles, ground and quay movement, channel sediment and yard waterlogging.
Bulk ports need independent, regular data
Stockpiles, structures and channels from space
Coal and ore ports manage large stockpiles, heavy structures and busy channels. Satellites can check these every few days without sensors on site.
PortWatch combines radar and optical data to support stockpile volume checks, moisture and heating indicators, ground movement monitoring with ground validation, and sediment tracking in approach channels.
Who this is for
Port operators, terminal owners and their lenders and insurers who want an independent view between site inspections.
How we work
We begin with a pilot on one terminal. We agree the questions, run the satellite analysis, and compare results with your own surveys and instruments.
Coverage is every few days with public satellite data, which suits weekly decisions rather than minute-by-minute operations.
What you get
Stockpile volume and change reports.
Moisture and heating indicators for stockpiles.
Ground movement maps for quays and reclaimed land.
Channel sediment and dredging indicators.
Yard waterlogging maps after heavy rain.
Comparison with your own surveys.
