Markets to be developed
Basic Services
Demand for the data services that can be provided by the nationwide network of marine radar facilities is diverse, spanning both the public and private sectors. We would first secure the bottom line of the business with the basic demand of the public sector, and then, explore a wide variety of private demands.
Constantly monitoring ocean currents and waves around all coastal areas of the Japanese archipelago and remote islands within the EEZ, we will ensure the safety of all vessels underway and assist in the selection of economical routes. In addition, we will support the discovery and recovery of flotsam and contribute to environmental conservation. Furthermore, by providing real-time information on the ocean currents and waves to all fishing boats, we will contribute to dramatic improvements in the efficiency of Japan's fisheries industry. It also contributes to the construction and maintenance of offshore wind farms.
Responding to Crisis
The capability of our ocean radar system to detect drastic changes in ocean currents in the waters far beyond the horizon will greatly contribute to "response to Tsunamis."
The Japan Meteorological Agency contributes to the "early warning of Tsunami attack" that is issued at the same time as the earthquake. However, it’s only a notice of an assumed possibility. On contrast, we will try to observe the actual status of current and waves and give timely warnings of real Tsunami, which is otherwise very difficult to do, due to the reasons of very complex and unpredictable nature of Tsunami.
In addition, once the crisis is over, it is also extremely important to grasp the offshore situation in real time and quickly release the warning. Unless this is done, the waterway cannot timely be reopened and delay the rescue activities and economic recovery.
Overseas Operations
Establishing this business model as quickly as possible in Japan, ORNIS wishes to serve as a role model for the other countries, especially in Southeast Asia, for whom not only assurance of public safety, but also development of modern fishing technologies is a big concern. We will explore the possibility of forming a J/V with powerful local companies in these countries, to transfer all the technologies and business know-how for a reasonable return.
