Commercial Fishing
For centuries the safety of sailors and merchandise aboard ships has depended on the weather. Today, global shipping is especially dependent on the latest weather information and on precise forecasts. Information on meteorological conditions at sea is critically important for the safety and economic success of shipping traffic worldwide.
While the need for reliable weather information has always been high, the means of presenting such weather forecasts to users has changed dramatically.
Until recently, global shipping companies and fishing fleets relied on weather updates from various national weather providers or transmissions over simple shortwave radio or weather faxes.
ClearPoint offers a very easy to use alternative. The ClearPoint High Definition Weather service empowers users to make highly informed decisions based on accurate, reliable weather data. We apply the latest in advanced technologies to the challenge of accurately detecting and forecasting weather which we deliver directly to you.
We offer the most comprehensive, high-definition, continuous weather information available. How do we do this?
