Sea.AI, a pioneer in AI-powered machine vision for maritime safety, is setting a new benchmark in vessel navigation and awareness. By integrating Tocaro Blue’s award-winning radar perception software, ProteusCore™, Sea.AI enhances its navigation platform to deliver unmatched accuracy, visibility, and decision-making support in all weather conditions.
This strategic collaboration brings together cutting-edge radar analysis and Sea.AI’s extensive machine vision capabilities, unlocking next-generation maritime situational awareness.
Smarter Navigation with AI Sensor Fusion
Since launching the world’s first onboard AI safety systems in 2018, Sea.AI has built a reputation for innovation in the marine sector. The company’s platform already fuses optical and thermal cameras with AIS data, offering vessels the ability to see and interpret their surroundings with precision.
Now, with the integration of ProteusCore™, Sea.AI will add radar data into the mix. This enhancement means crews can visualize filtered, decluttered radar targets directly within the camera interface. The result? True 360-degree maritime situational awareness, even in fog, darkness, or rough seas.
Boosting All-Weather Capability and Object Recognition
The newly combined system uses advanced AI-powered machine vision and radar analytics to enhance object detection, distance estimation, and navigational decision-making. Sea.AI’s database of millions of annotated maritime objects ensures the AI can classify and respond to real-world scenarios with high reliability.
Marcus Warrelmann, CEO of Sea.AI, commented, “Merging radar with optical and thermal vision allows us to deliver a fully AI-enhanced safety system. We are not just reading instruments, we are making them intelligent.”
Commercial Rollout in Q4 2025
Development is already underway, with a planned software upgrade rolling out in Q4 2025. The upgrade will be available for existing Sea.AI users, offering them a significant boost in capability without needing to replace hardware.
Sea.AI’s latest upgrade reflects a broader trend in the maritime industry—shifting from traditional navigation tools to intelligent systems that adapt, learn, and improve over time.
Learn What’s Next for Maritime AI
To showcase the new capabilities, Sea.AI is hosting an exclusive webinar on May 27th at 16:00 EST / 10:00 CET. Attendees will learn how this upgraded platform merges optical, thermal, and radar-based perception to offer unmatched safety and efficiency.
The session will dive into the evolution of maritime AI, key use cases, and how this partnership is shaping the future of intelligent seafaring.
