At SMM 2024 in Hamburg, Dieter Janecek, Member of the German Parliament and Coordinator of the Federal Government for Maritime Economy and Tourism, visited the booth of in-innovative navigation GmbH. With warm congratulations, he handed over the funding certificates for the SeaSentry research project, emphasizing its significance for maritime safety.
The SeaSentry project aims to develop a real-time, land-based vessel tracking system that contributes to enhanced maritime safety. At its core is a sensor network that passively detects signals from ship radar systems without requiring any additional installations on board. This innovative technology will be seamlessly integrated into existing VTS systems to improve safety and efficiency in complex maritime environments.
The project is being carried out in collaboration with Covadonga GmbH, Knowtion GmbH, the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, the DLR Institute for Systems Engineering for Future Mobility, and in-innovative navigation GmbH. Together, these partners are working on developing and testing the sensor technology to optimize maritime surveillance and deliver significant added value for users.
