On the Vessel
Aerial view of a cruise vessel under way with tug escort
Sea4D on the vessel.

One unit, mounted to suit the vessel: radar, thermal, GNSS (GPS), IMU and AIS in a single enclosure. Permanently installed and powered from the vessel.

Installation
Mount
Mounting position to suit the vessel and the operation, with a clear view ahead; 120° field of view per unit.
Power
Under 65 W, from the vessel's supply.
Integration
Outputs to the bridge display and the vessel's systems; AIS and GNSS feeds fused on the unit.
What It Enables
Foresight
The sea state, the contacts and position integrity in one view, at the helm, on a mobile or in a control room.
Optimal CTS
AI course and speed advice at the edge, computed live on the unit for the bridge, to save fuel.
Predictive Wave
In development: the sea state ahead of the vessel.
A Voyage with Sea4D
01
Departure, in fog
In fog, Sea4D is designed to keep tracking the vessels and small craft nearby and the hazards in the water close aboard, in sea clutter, so the crew can act in good time.
02
Open water
DNV puts the efficiency gain from forecast-based weather routing at 3 to 10 per cent, to be verified in operation. Optimal CTS is designed to recommend course and speed that save fuel, as advice to the bridge.
03
Contested waters
Approaching the strait, GNSS is jammed and spoofed. Sea4D flags when the satellite position should not be trusted, and positioning keeps running in the strait, as an aid to the bridge.
04
Arrival
Alongside, the data from the passage is backed up to the cloud for playback and audit: the sea state, the contacts and the position status, for CII reporting and any incident review.

A worked passage showing Sea4D's operating envelope. Projected production-unit figures; to be verified in production trials.
