The increase in maritime traffic, pollutants and dangerous materials, and therefore accident risks that can dramatically damage environment and communities, does nowadays constitute a real problem. Within a French joint industry project, operational tools based on innovative remote sensing of satellite data, were developed in order to provide reliable metocean analysis (wind, waves and currents) used for tracking floating objects and oil slicks. In the first part, satellite metocean measurements are presented in this paper, considering the measurement principle and the associated operational parameters. In the second part, an operational procedure is described, which combines these satellite data with metocean models to determine reliable parameters such as wind, sea-state and current. This procedure is illustrated in the third part with a case study of a buoy displacement during a real time operation.
