The Helm Order Monitor is a sophisticated system designed to enhance maritime navigation by integrating automatic speech recognition (ASR) with ship sensor data to prevent navigational errors. Engineered with simplicity, the system provides audio-visual alerts to bridge teams if helm instructions are omitted or misinterpreted. It utilizes an advanced Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) feature developed in collaboration with audEERING® to detect elevated stress levels that may affect decision-making. The technology includes type-approved components for marine environments, supporting 24/7 operation with a durable multi-touch interface and low power consumption. The Octopus microphone array, a development platform by Fraunhofer IDMT, enables effective far-field voice capture essential for navigating challenging auditory conditions on a ship's bridge. With IEC 60945 and IACS E10 certifications, this system optimizes the recognition of maritime phrases and reduces communication barriers, exemplifying a substantial positive step in maritime safety by addressing stress and language issues prevalent in the industry.

Aware Mate is a technological advancement aimed at enhancing maritime safety by addressing the prevalent issue of seafarer fatigue and distraction during bridge watchkeeping. Utilizing video detection technology, Aware Mate monitors a watchkeeper’s levels of alertness through sophisticated infrared and intelligent algorithms that track iris movement, gaze fixation, and head positioning. This system ensures effective fatigue detection and distraction management both day and night. Engineered to prioritize user privacy, Aware Mate operates offline, eliminating the need for an internet or cloud connection. This ensures no personal data is recorded or shared, maintaining privacy with anonymized insights. Additionally, Aware Mate integrates seamlessly into existing Bridge Navigational Watch & Alarm System (BNWAS) setups. Its partnership with Axis Communications from Lund, Sweden, allows the use of hardware and software optimized for deep learning applications. Through such integrations, Aware Mate aims to significantly enhance navigational safety by reducing the risks of accidents caused by decreased attention and judgment among watchkeepers.

Project Sentinel leverages the SEAEXPLORER X2, an advanced autonomous underwater glider platform, to monitor and detect marine pollution in real time. Designed by ALSEAMAR-ALCEN, these gliders operate continuously for months, navigating shipping lanes to sample and identify pollutants such as oil, chemicals, and substances leading to dead zones. Equipped with advanced sensors for detecting a variety of marine contaminants, the gliders transmit instant alerts to authorities via satellite or coastal links when pollution is detected. This makes response efforts more timely and effective. With traditional surveillance limited by vast ocean coverage and high operation costs, Project Sentinel stands out by providing a cost-effective and comprehensive solution to illegal discharges. The autonomous nature allows for operation in challenging conditions, offering a robust system to support ocean conservation and regulatory enforcement.
