Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Conrad Blucher Institute (CBI) has collaborated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Center for Operational and Oceanographic Products and Services (NOAA CO-OPS) to create the Transit Time! Mobile App for Houston/Galveston PORTS.

Transit Time! was headed by Dr. Philippe Tissot, Associate Director of the CBI, and Scott Duff, CBI’s Assistant Director for IT Operations. Students Julien Clifford, Francesca Picarazzi, and former student Cristian Romo conducted the programming.

This app will provide ship captains with real-time predictions of ocean water levels and currents along the Houston Ship Channel, home to the second largest port in the U.S. Transit Time! is available for mobile devices, smartphones, and desktop devices. It is also in the process of being implemented for other PORTS locations in the U.S.
