SEA.AI has been awarded a public tender by the Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO), Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, to supply AI-powered maritime machine vision systems to support marine research, conservation, and maritime safety.
The contract, secured in collaboration with SEA.AI’s regional partner, TMS Maritime Solutions, includes the delivery of seven SEA.AI systems for deployment across a range of vessels and operational environments.
The initiative will improve the detection and monitoring of marine mammals, particularly whales, while enabling broader evaluation of advanced sensing technologies in real-world conditions.
Scientists and authorities are working to better understand their behavior, which poses risks to both vessels and threatened populations. By combining optical and thermal imaging with artificial intelligence, SEA.AI systems enable continuous, real-time detection and classification of objects and marine life.
Beyond marine mammal detection, AI-powered machine vision has broad applications in enhancing safety at sea for recreational boats and commercial vessels. SEA.AI technology improves situational awareness for crews, helping to reduce the risk of collisions and supporting critical safety applications such as person-overboard detection.
“This project comes at a critical moment, as interactions between vessels and marine mammals are becoming both more
