At dotOcean, we believe in connecting autonomous vessels, smart sensors and cloud robotics — creating full situational awareness from harbor to cloud.
During our recent demonstration in the Port of Zeebrugge, we showcased how Seacurity and Automate Your Boat seamlessly work together to detect, decide and act — fully autonomously.
Our Seacurity setup, positioned at Zeebrugge, combines radar with both RGB and thermal cameras.
Using AI-based detection and geofencing zones configured in the dotOcean Cloud, the system automatically monitors vessel activity.
When a ship crosses into a restricted zone, the system instantly raises an alert — giving operators a clear, visual overview of what’s happening in real time.
Once the alert is triggered, the operator takes control through the AYB app.
With one simple tap, a Follow-Me mission is created and sent directly to the MarSur USV, our autonomous vessel.
Within seconds, MarSur reacts — turning and following the target, while streaming live video and radar data back to the dotOcean Cloud.
This immediate, automated response shows how our connected ecosystem transforms harbor monitoring into an intelligent, coordinated operation.
All data — from fixed sensors, on-board cameras, radar, and mission systems — are fused within the dotOcean Cloud.
This allows operators to manage missions remotely (BVLOS) in the control room, or locally (VLOS) on-site
It’s one unified operational picture — delivering clarity, safety, and efficiency for maritime environments.
This demonstration proves the strength of integration:
Together, they redefine what’s possible at sea — turning awareness into action.
