SafeNav offers a software‑only, human‑in‑the‑loop AI navigation co‑pilot that fuses AIS, radar, vision, GNSS, LiDAR and chart data into a unified, real‑time decision engine. It provides explainable, COLREG‑compliant course and speed guidance to help commercial ship owners, fleet operators and OEMs reduce collision and grounding risk while keeping the captain in final control, and it integrates with existing bridge systems without hardware changes.

Problem
Maritime navigation relies on fragmented alerts and manual interpretation, leading to over 2,500 incidents annually, with 75–90% attributed to human error. These collisions and groundings generate significant safety risks, insurance costs, and environmental damage.
Solution
SafeNav provides a software‑only, human‑in‑the‑loop AI navigation co‑pilot that fuses AIS, radar, vision, GNSS, LiDAR, and chart data into a single real‑time operational picture. Its decision engine evaluates encounter geometry against COLREG rules and generates clear, explainable course and speed guidance while keeping the captain in final control. The system runs edge‑based for low latency and remains functional in GNSS‑denied environments. By delivering early, compliant maneuver recommendations, SafeNav reduces collision and grounding risk, lowers fuel‑wasting reactive maneuvers, and supports regulatory compliance and claims defensibility.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial ship owners, fleet operators, and vessel manufacturers seeking to improve safety, reduce insurance exposure, and meet emerging navigation‑support regulations.
Features
- Fusion of AIS, radar, vision, GNSS, LiDAR, and electronic chart data into a unified live view
