What We Do
Technical Capabilities
Cutting-edge numerical modelling, marine engineering, and climate science solutions delivered by a multidisciplinary team of engineers, modelers and naval architects.
With deep expertise in coastal, marine and estuarine processes, Hatch Marine delivers integrated solutions for ports, harbours, and marine infrastructure across the entire project lifecycle. We support clients in developing safe, efficient, and resilient facilities through advanced metocean analysis and numerical modelling.
Together with industry-leading experts including Force Technology , Hatch Marine provides a wide range of 2D and 3D ship navigation, hydro- and aerodynamic simulations for port and marine terminal operations, design and development.
Port, Harbour & Terminal
Review, site selection, and optimisation of port infrastructure design for marine terminals.
Metocean Analysis
Integrating meteorological and oceanographic data for safe offshore infrastructure design.
Dredging & Disposal
Numerical models to optimise channels and quantify suspended material concentrations.
Navigation Channel Optimisation
Assess depositional rates, optimise depths, side slopes and channel widths for savings.
Ship Navigation Simulation
2D/3D simulations for port layout suitability under standard and emergency scenarios.
Coastal Processes & Impact
Shoreline evolution study and mitigation measures based on impact assessment modelling.
At Hatch Marine, numerical modelling is at the core of how complex water and coastal systems are understood, designed and stress-tested under current and future climates. Our specialists use cutting-edge models to simulate hydrodynamics, waves, morphology and water quality.
Hydrodynamic / Flow Models
Simulation of water movement under influence of tides, winds and river flows for coasts, estuaries, rivers and reservoirs.
Wave Models
Assessment of offshore wave climate, nearshore transformation and wave penetration into harbours and port basins.
Environmental / Water Quality Models
Coupling of hydrodynamics with algae growth, nutrients and pollutants to assess flushing and ecosystem response.
Morphological Models
Simulation of sediment transport and bed level changes to evaluate erosion, accretion and long-term morphological impacts.
Extreme Events — Storm Surge & Tsunami
Modelling of hazards including storm surge and tsunami for coastal vulnerability assessment and resilience planning.
Groundwater Models
2D/3D groundwater flow and transport modelling for wellfield design, dewatering, and contamination studies.
We offer a complete range of engineering and scientific services for the sustainable management of surface and groundwater resources, from catchment to city scale. Our work integrates hydrology, planning and infrastructure design to help clients balance reliability, resilience and environmental outcomes.
Service Area 04
Climate Change Studies
Hatch Marine supports clients in planning for future climatic conditions by combining climate science with engineering and numerical modelling. The focus is on robust, sustainable solutions that incorporate both mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Climate Model Downscaling
Translation of global and regional climate model outputs to project-relevant spatial and temporal scales for hydrological and coastal impact studies.
Climate Change Impact Assessment
Evaluation of how changing temperature, rainfall and circulation patterns affect floods, droughts, coastal hazards and infrastructure.
Sea Level Rise Impact
Assessment of sea level rise and storm surge scenarios, inundation mapping and implications for coastal assets and communities.
Climate-Sensitive Water Management
Integration of climate projections into basin planning, IWRM, reservoir operation and demand management strategies.
Weather & Climate Extremes
Analysis of changing extremes (rainfall, storms, heat) and derivation of updated design and risk parameters for infrastructure.
Hazard Mitigation & Resilience
Development of flood mitigation plans, resilience action plans, and adaptation strategies for urban and coastal areas.
