Abstract
In response to a eleventh report of the Transport Policy Council of July 1981, we started the data offer of the NOWPHAS (Nationwide Ocean Wave information network for Ports and HArbourS) from April 1995 and developed the COMEINS (Coastal Oceanographic and Meteorological Information System). The first system started official use in February 1997, enabled interactive communication by the dedicated line and the terminal. In correspondence with the spread of Internet technologies, we started a Web version as a second generation system formally, and also started Mobile version using the cellphone. In correspondence with diversification and advancement of coastal oceanographic and meteorological information, we developed the third generation system which pursued convenience of the operability and started official use now from October 2012.
