Marine AI’s software uses machine learning and real-time analytics to address challenges in navigation, safety and operational efficiency. Its innovations have already contributed to key projects, including the Royal Navy’s CETUS Extra Large Underwater Autonomous Vehicle demonstrator and Zero USV’s autonomous charter boat fleet.

“Seeing our software being applied in such a wide array of applications is truly exciting,” said Tom Rooney, general manager at Marine AI.

“We’re at the forefront of a digital revolution in maritime operations, pioneering solutions that not only revolutionise navigation, safety and performance but also set new benchmarks for efficiency at sea.”
