ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces operational system software for the assurance of marine environment of major offshore ports and channels which integrates oil spill, search and rescue, tidal level forecast and warning and other systems and forecast systems, run on large cluster computer system in a coupled way. In addition, Atmosphere module and marine wave module of the coupled forecast system provide visualized image of and statistics on the wind field of WRF forecast and relevant wave field of the research area; forecast module of tidal level provides tidal level forecast of various ports and make real-time prediction of tide level in a prompt and dynamic manner on the basis of the real-time forecast system of water level change, astronomic tide forecast and storm tide warning; sediment transport module offers prediction on sediment transport and deposition for the port; terminal data are generated on the basis of forecast system of various numerical and mathematical analysis technologies and Web technology analysis. Information publishing software is developed to support the publishing and downloading service of real-time, forecast and warning information and provide warning, assurance and decision-making supporting service of port shipping for port administration and Maritime Safety Administration of Ministry of Transport, in order to mitigate the uncertainty in decision-making.
