During navigation, captains and pilots need to avoid collisions either with the surrounding environment, during docking and mooring, or with dangerous floating bodies, known as large scale marine debris-- especially when traveling at high speed. These floating objects represent a serious threat to safe navigation, potentially causing severe damage or even the loss of a vessel, as well as a huge casualty to ship owners and insurance companies alike.
Theft of an entire vessel, especially in certain areas of the world where boats can be reused for illegal activities, is an ever growing phenomenon.
With our system, the captain or the pilot can have a real-time 360° view of the outside environment, complemented by the vessel’s progress along its intended trajectory and by color-coded danger zones. Both assisted docking and driverless docking options are available to relieve stress at the helm station. Prompt warning alarms will sound in the event of possible collisions with neighboring vessels or with the quay; in case of detection of dangerous floating bodies ahead, immediate action to cut engine power or veer off is automatically triggered, so that there is enough time to correct the course.
Advanced 3D biometric face recognition provides full control of human presence in sensitive areas on-board, guaranteeing completely customizable access control to operating commands and servo mechanisms of the vessel.
Our technology fits the entire maritime field: luxury yacht, cargo, cruise and ferry vessels.
The initial market we are targeting with our solution is luxury yachts. Including used boats and equipment, this is a market worth $41 billion plus in global sales for 2020, with the USA and Italy being the largest manufacturing countries. As an Italian startup, SeeSAFE has two key advantages:
