FAQs

ANPR stands for Automatic Number Plate Recognition. It's a technology that reads vehicle registration plates to create location data. Timed photographs from cameras at the entrance and exit of a car park give an accurate recording of how long a vehicle has used the facilities. This information is captured by scanners or cameras then cross-referenced for a range of car park management and enforcement purposes.

Pending a site survey, the equipment, groundwork, set up and signage will be installed and carried out by Ocean Parking, with zero cost to you. For us to do this, we recoup our costs from PCN payments made by unauthorised users, effectively reducing abuse on your site over time.

Well, we have many options, of which all can be tailored to your specific needs. For example, permit holders could be entered onto a permitted list and marked as exempt from enforcement, providing they are adhering to all the other site rules. Paying customers could pay by foot, by phone or via an app.

We are a newly branded company! We have actually been around since 2013 but have recently rebranded to align more with our parent company - who have been on the security service scene since the 80’s. You’re in safe hands with us!

You can call us or fill out the contact form on this page and one of our account managers will run through a few questions with you and arrange your free site survey.

When you instruct Ocean Parking to manage your car park, that is exactly what we do – freeing up your time to concentrate on your workload. Depending on what package you have selected, we take care of absolutely everything. Nobody likes being caught breaking the rules, and that’s why our staff are trained to the highest level in conflict management, customer service and are up to date with the British Parking Association code of practice.
