By utilizing FME processes and server, iBlueHarbor has the capability to provide users complex data transformations behind the curtain with a simplistic user dashboard. iBlueHarbor provides a total picture of your marine operations with the ability to drill down into specific areas of concerns when needed. With the use of iBlueHarbor powered by FME users have the capability to perform near real time decisions that help in planning, maintenance and marine operations. Currently, iBlueHarbor functionality performs analysis based on latest observations ( tides / currents), volume calculations, under keel clearance, navigational route, waypoint clearance, document collaboration, shoaling and scouring rates.

iBlueHarbor – Where are we headed?
● Started with 3 areas in 2020, added 33 in 2021, and 81 in
2022.
● 2023 – 300+ survey areas are currently active in the system to
date
● 250+ surveys per year related to these areas (vary between
monthly, quarterly, annual and semi-annual surveys)
● Currently 25+ FME processes hosted in cloud environment
● Continual integration of new FME processes to streamline
and reduce development costs
● Incorporating AI into future data analysis efforts
