Hefring is bringing its IMAS (Intelligent Marine Assistance System) to the table, which will be rolled out to SAFE Boats customers.

The IMAS solution uses an onboard computer and sensors to monitor, collect and process data on motions, impacts, engines, navigation and other available systems.

The system can make real-time predictions and deliver operators with condition-adaptive decision support, optimising speed for impact and vibration minimization, fuel use and range maximisation.

“Offering IMAS to our customers aligns with our commitment to continuously innovate and our mission to provide professional mariners with the most capable boats that allow them to complete their missions and save lives,” said SAFE Boats CEO Richard Schwarz.

All collected and processed data can be stored on board or transferred in real time for storage and active monitoring to the IMAS Console, which provides a range of tools for performance visualization, reporting and in-depth analysis.

“We are proud to have the opportunity to work with SAFE Boats International,” said Karl Birgir Björnsson, CEO and co-founder of Hefring Marine. “Their exceptional track record in building robust, high-performance vessels complements our vision of enhancing professional boat operations through the integration of data-driven technology.”
