Partrac, the specialist metocean and seabed consultancy that is part of the Venterra Group, has developed V-Data, a cloud-based platform that gives offshore wind project teams direct, real-time access to their metocean measurement data. V-Data replaces the fragmented manual workflows that continue to create risk and inefficiency across development campaigns.
Drawing on more than 20 years of operational experience delivering measurement campaigns for some of the world’s largest offshore wind projects, Partrac’s new V-Data platform addresses a persistent problem in offshore wind development. Multi-year measurement campaigns generate substantial volumes of metocean data, yet project teams have routinely depended on disconnected files, manual transfers and fragmented reporting to manage it. This introduces delays and traceability gaps at the point where reliable data matters most, from design and consenting through to investment decisions.
V-Data brings datasets, metadata and operational reporting together in a single platform, with direct API integration into existing project workflows, automated data pipelines and quality-controlled data managed throughout by Partrac’s own metocean specialists. Its API-enabled structure also makes it easier for project teams to apply machine-learning and AI tools to their data, supporting faster analysis and insight generation.
Partrac managing director Sam Athey said: “The measurement technology in offshore wind has advanced enormously, but the way data actually gets into the hands of the people who need it has barely changed.
“Project teams are still dealing with email attachments, manual handovers and spreadsheets when they should have direct, live access to quality-assured data.
“V-Data is our answer to that, built by people who have run these campaigns, for the people who depend on the data.”
Partrac has delivered metocean measurement campaigns for major offshore wind developments including Dogger Bank and Moray West.
