OMC International

OMC International is the inventor of the industry leading Dynamic Under Keel Clearance System (DUKC®).

DUKC® is a comprehensive digital solution for UKC management, underpinned by detailed modelling of port operations, numerical analysis of ship motions, hydro-dynamic models, channel survey data, and the AI assisted assimilation of real-time and forecast environmental conditions.

Connecting advanced calculation engines with the port’s available IoT devices and digital data sources, DUKC® allows the sailing draft of every vessel to be safely maximised.

The DUKC® functionality allows the port and its customers to evaluate what the maximum sailing drafts will be for future tides. With approximately 12,000 transits per year, DUKC® is used by ports globally to enhance safety, optimis eport efficiency, minimise dredging, and reduce shipping related CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions.

The technology is utilised at most Australian ports, and OMC currently has clients in NZ, Canada, Europe, UAE, and Brazil.
