WAVE MEASUREMENTS by the X-band navigation radar or a wave buoy can be used to calculate the ship responses in the actual waves and, optionally, to calibrate the weather forecasts. By measuring the sea surface around the ship a complete picture is obtained day and night even for complex multi-directional combined wave systems. OCTOPUS autonomously calculates and evaluates the ship responses in those complex sea states, which provides the complete picture of the actual ship's operating condition.
