What it does

Every six hours in storm season: the wind forecast at your harbours for the next two days, and when gusts are coming a notice by xMap AI to haul out or double the lines, sent to the cooperative.

In one sentence: Every 6 hours at :00, in Manila, get the 2-day weather forecast, sort them by wind_max_kmh and keep the top 3, write a report with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Storms wreck boats left in the water. A notice in time protects the fleet.
