SEA.AI’s advanced optical situational awareness system, Watchkeeper, is now fully integrated into the USV12, a 12-meter Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) developed by VN Maritime and Havelsan, in collaboration with Piloda Defence and VN Maritime Shipyard.

India is rapidly emerging as a hub for maritime electrification, with pioneering projects in inland passenger ferries, water taxis, and hybrid workboats already demonstrating the country’s commitment to sustainable mobility.

The prestigious award recognizes exceptional innovation and design in marine technology and cements Watchkeeper’s position as a new standard in vision-based maritime safety.

TYDE’s proprietary hydrofoil technology reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, decreases greenhouse gas emissions by over 90%, and delivers a superior passenger experience through silent, smooth, high-speed flight above the water.

All components operate at 48 V DC, ensuring safety and ease of installation; no specialized high-voltage certification or equipment required.

Watchkeeper has been nominated for the DAME Design Awards at the upcoming METSTRADE show

The Gussies have entered the public voting phase after an international judging panel selected 46 finalists from 122 nominated electric boats.

The company’s new Watchkeeper solution delivers scalable, accessible situational awareness starting at $4,990

Nominations are open now through October 25, 2025, followed by the announcement of finalists and a public voting period. Winners will be announced in November during METSTRADE in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The jury selected SEA.AI’s new Watchkeeper system from more than 120 entries because it makes advanced collision avoidance accessible to every boater.

Sea.AI will unveil its latest innovation, the Watchkeeper system, at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Four leading maritime associations have jointly launched the Global Alliance for Maritime Electrification (GAME), a coalition of nonprofit organizations dedicated to accelerating the electrification of maritime transportation.

Molabo, the leader in high-performance, safe-to-touch electric propulsion systems, has equipped the Port of Barcelona's newest all-electric commuter ferry, the Ecocat Tres, with its advanced ARIES i50 electric motors.  This state-of-the-art vessel is part of Bus Nàutic, a zero-emission boat service connecting Drassanes and Llevant wharves in Barcelona. In its first three months of operation, the Bus Nàutic service had already completed more than 125,000 trips.
