Maersk Vessel Crew Members – One of the Most Powerful Companies in Maritime Logistics – Have Been Collecting Data for Years. And Now All This Information Will Be Shared with the Scientific Community.

The supply of ocean weather data from Maersk aims to assist climate research and weather forecasts where ground-level data coverage is sparse, with most coming from satellite observations.

These satellite weather observations still have limitations. Thus, with the information from this one of the world’s most powerful maritime logistics companies, the trend is to analyze and generate quality information at various levels.

The ocean weather data to be publicly provided by Maersk consists of historical and future observations about the climate. Consequently, this climate information can be used freely by the scientific community worldwide for new and enhanced research actions.

Ocean Weather Data Will Be Fueled by About Seven Thousand Weather Observations per Day by Maersk

With all 300 vessels owned by Maersk sharing data multiple times a day, the company estimates that more than 7,000 observations will be made daily. Some vessels are even providing real-time data to weather services worldwide.

Several of the company’s ships have automated weather stations installed in collaboration with the German National Meteorological Service. These devices, also called data collection platforms (PCD), are towers with various automatic sensors that measure meteorological parameters.

These measurement stations collect a broader variety of data with higher quality, further optimizing contributions to weather forecasts and climate science.

Regarding access to ocean weather data, a researcher from the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research (GEOMAR) in Kiel, Germany, says he is excited as a member of the scientific community and that “this will help better constrain past conditions of the ocean surface, as well as improve future weather and climate forecasts.”

For Maersk’s Head of Maritime Standards, Aslak Ross, “climate change is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges facing the global community.”

“We have set a strategy to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2040, but we are also committed, as part of our ESG strategy, to contributing to science through data collected from our vessels. This has been an opportunity to digitize weather observations,” concludes Aslak Ross.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Labor shortage: Switzerland is ‘desperate’ to find 40,000 workers, and Brazilians in this situation can apply.

At the most remote point on the planet, thousands of kilometers away from any inhabited land, there is a cemetery of spacecraft where space structures are sent at the end of their mission.

Driven by the BBB showcase, the Chinese Hatch surges in retail, surpasses the Corolla Cross, and begins to threaten Hyundai and BYD in one of the month’s most unexpected turns.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
