4C is now TGS
We are excited to announce a significant milestone in 4C Offshore's journey. Our integration into the TGS family marks the beginning of a new era in offshore wind market intelligence.
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology that enables the collection, archiving, analysis and presentation of spatial information about the specific locations of the Earth’s surface. It combines maps and data to give users a better understanding of various phenomena, patterns, and relationships based on location. Fundamentally, GIS enables us to understand spatial data and make judgments about our environment.
GIS is a powerful tool that helps users to understand, analyse, and visualize data in a spatial context, which has broad applications across various fields and industries. Ultimately enhancing decision-making by identifying spatial patterns and relationships in various sectors.
GIS facilitates site selection and planning for offshore projects by providing detailed spatial data on elements including proximity to existing infrastructure, ocean currents, and seabed topography. As a result, risks are reduced and resource allocation is optimized in the offshore industry. By enabling real-time asset and environmental condition monitoring, GIS also improves operational effectiveness. This data-driven methodology enables preventive maintenance, lowering operational expenses and minimising environmental impact and enhancing transparency.

The offshore wind farm sector has grown significantly in recent years, driven by advances in technology, government policies, and declining costs. Global offshore wind capacity reached 29.1 GW in 2019, up from just 3.5 GW in 2010 and in Europe, offshore wind power capacity is expected to reach 450 GW by 2050, with major growth expected in markets such as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. Mapping and geographic information systems (GIS) are important aspects of the sector and, as such, play an essential role for developers, researchers and consultants involved in offshore, guiding decisions from site selection to asset management. Imagine what you could do for your organisation with access to comprehensive geographic information system (GIS) data and mapping.
