Maritime machine vision solutions SEA.AI has been awarded a multi-million euro European governmental contract to deploy SEA.AI’s AI-powered vision technology across autonomous vessels.
SEA.AI’s machine vision systems detect, classify and track floating objects such as vessels, rafts, floating debris, and even people in the water—providing real-time hazard detection designed to fill a gap in the coverage of conventional radar and AIS systems.
By integrating high-resolution optical sensors and computer vision algorithms, SEA.AI ensures save navigation even in the most complex maritime situations.
“With our machine vision technology, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in autonomous navigation,” said Marcus Warrelmann, SEA.AI CEO.
“The company’s broad product portfolio, with a weight range from 700g to 4.5kg, is already being used on vessels across recreational, commercial, governmental and search and rescue fleets worldwide.”
Our technology is designed to meet the evolving needs of this market.

Since 2018, SEA.AI has built a proprietary image database, built from specific datasets containing millions of annotated marine objects from thermal and colour cameras.
The evolving database is enriched not only by data collected in real-world situations but also by tailored datasets created to meet specific customer requirements, improving the system’s AI detection accuracy.
“This achievement is a clear validation of the growing role AI plays in maritime safety and security, and we’re proud to be a leader in this exciting and rapidly expanding sector,” Marcus added.
“As the maritime domain moves towards greater autonomy, SEA.AI is paving the way by providing solutions that ensure safe and reliable operations in even the most demanding conditions.
“Our technology is designed to meet the evolving needs of this market.”
