Descripción
A Greek maritime company developing an integrated maritime surveillance and self-protection system for commercial fleets is seeking technology providers and system integrators. The project targets merchant shipping routes in high-risk areas (the Red Sea, the Horn of Africa, the Gulf of Aden, the Strait of Malacca, West African waters), where asymmetric threats, including high-speed skiffs, low-Radar Cross Section (RCS) unmanned surface vessels and micro-Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are present.
Title
A Greek maritime company is looking for an integrated maritime threat detection and early-warning system
Abstract
The Greek maritime company was established in 2006. It is an independent maritime brokerage and advisory company with two decades of operational expertise and trust across over 250 global charterers and 50 shipowners. Currently, they want to extend into the domain of commercial shipping, in the field of maritime security and situational awareness for merchant fleets.
Their system is built for merchant vessels operating in high-risk maritime zones, where threats can come from small, fast boats, unmanned surface vessels, or drones. Its goal is to provide early detection, real-time analysis, and actionable alerts to help non-military crews respond effectively under pressure. It is designed to provide early detection, assisted classification, multi-target tracking, and actionable alerts for merchant crews, under the “Sense - Think - Act - Connect” architecture.
The company requests partners capable of providing radar systems optimized for small fast targets, 360-degree continuous surveillance, gyrostabilized electro-optical/infrared turrets for day, night, and thermal imaging, and optional Radio Frequency/Electronic Support Measures (RF/ESM) sensors. They are also looking for an AI-assisted sensor fusion and command-and-control software with real-time threat scoring, multi-target tracking, and geo-fencing alerts. Moreover, they would prefer a user-friendly interface suitable for non-military crews, low false-alarm rates, and robust logging. The solution must accommodate the practical constraints of merchant vessels, including limited power supply, modest mast footprint, integration with existing bridge networks such as Automatic Identification System (AIS) and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV), and full compliance with maritime standards and relevant classification rules.
Currently, they are building a commercially viable, fully integrated early-warning system for merchant vessels that may combine high-performance sensors for 360° coverage, AI-assisted analysis for multi-target tracking, clear user guidance for crews, and seamless integration with shipboard systems while remaining compliant with maritime regulations. The system would provide early, reliable, actionable information so crews can make quick decisions in high-risk maritime environments. Its dual-use nature would enhance crew safety and operational resilience and support environmental protection, reducing the risk of collisions, spills, or accidents. It would be designed to be commercially viable, with a predictable total cost of ownership, low power consumption, compact footprint, and straightforward integration with existing shipboard networks.
The company seeks technology providers who can contribute with technical expertise, R and D capabilities, system integration know-how, and operational experience to co-create the system. The ideal partner would bring deep knowledge in sensors, AI, maritime systems, and human-machine interfaces, combined with experience in pilot deployments, regulatory compliance, and collaborative development projects. Collaboration may take the form of technical cooperation agreements, joint development agreements and research partnerships for co-funded pilots, or commercial agreements with technical assistance.
Advantages and innovation
The company develops a highly innovative solution purpose-built for commercial shipping, combining advanced sensor fusion, AI threat management, and intuitive crew workflows. The system provides early detection, actionable alerts, and multi-target tracking to counter asymmetric threats such as fast skiffs, unmanned surface vessels, and micro-UAS, while simultaneously supporting environmental protection and Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). Its design is scalable, cost-efficient, and commercially viable, allowing fleet-wide deployment with predictable total cost of ownership and minimal operational disruption.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The company is essentially seeking partners who have expertise in maritime sensors, AI-powered command-and-control, human-centered design, systems integration, and project execution. Apart from the supplying part, the company seeks collaborators capable of delivering a fully functional, reliable, commercial-grade early-warning system and contributing to co-development, piloting, and deployment. Partners should have experience with radar and Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) systems optimized for small, fast-moving targets, multi-sensor fusion, AI-driven threat classification and prioritization, multi-target tracking, and geo-fencing alerts. Partner technologies will be integrated into a large-scale commercial rollout with global fleet exposure, offering recurring deployment opportunities. Partners would expect to participate in pilot deployments, real-world validation, and co-development stages that bridge cutting-edge maritime technology with practical, commercial fleet applications.
