PROTIDE 7

PROTIDE 7 is the latest version of our web-based 24/7 tidal window calculation service for deep-draft ships calling at port. Development of PROTIDE 7 was completed in November 2019, and the version was brought live in January 2020 for use in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Eemshaven (Netherlands), Emden (Germany) and Long Beach (USA).

A key feature of PROTIDE 7 is a new API for maintaining ships, creating transits for port calls, and performing tidal window calculations. The API has been designed as a JSON-based REST API following the Open Data (OData) protocol, ratified and published as ISO/IEC standards 20802-1 and 20802-2.

The new API offers a solution for integrating PROTIDE as a tidal window calculation service in port management and vessel traffic services (VTS).
