-Securing Leadership Across Small-Vessel and Public-Fleet Markets, Building on Government Vessel Trials.
-Technology Tested in Singapore—the Hub of Maritime Innovation—Signals Faster Global Expansion.
Seadronix, a leading provider of AI autonomous navigation solutions (CEO Byeolteo Park), has successfully completed real-world validation of its core solution—the NAVISS Compact AI around-view system for small vessels—on an SCDF vessel in Singapore, marking the start of a full-scale push into global markets.
In addition to the vessel demonstration, Seadronix has recently completed successful NAVISS Compact installations on crew transfer vessels (CTVs) used for personnel and materials transport, rapidly gaining ground in the small-vessel segment. Leveraging references from fisheries guidance vessels and research vessels, the company plans to further strengthen its market leadership by expanding AI system deployments across public fleets worldwide.
This validation was conducted through the inaugural cohort of Hatch’s rapid experimentation program, In-Beta, by Hatch. Hatch is the innovation centre of Singapore’s Home Team Science & Technology Agency (HTX), a statutory board under the Ministry of Home Affairs of Singapore. As part of the In-Beta program, Seadronix developed a proof-of-technology with NAVISS Compact that proved both berthing safety and operational efficiency on the SCDF vessel.
For this project, Seadronix went beyond the existing AI around-view, automatic object recognition, and collision-avoidance alerts to implement LiDAR-based sensor fusion that provides AI-recommended optimal berthing paths. The system also demonstrated differentiated capabilities by supporting efficient berthing during challenging night operations and vessel-to-vessel mooring scenarios.
Having successfully completed its proof-of-technology under In-Beta, NAVISS Compact is advancing to further trials, recognized for its potential to enhance pilots' situational awareness and decision-making in precision-maneuvering environments. While retaining the full feature set of the standard NAVISS system for general vessels, NAVISS Compact is a drastically miniaturized and lightweight version that reduces sensor-module size and weight. It is optimized for small vessels under 100 gross tons and around 30 meters in length, and integrates a high-performance micro server to ensure robust performance and stability in tight onboard spaces.
Positioned as an essential AI navigation partner for small vessels operating with limited visibility and lean crews in complex maritime environments, NAVISS Compact is expected to play a pivotal role in national maritime safety, with deployments already underway across multiple public-sector fleets.
Kyongsoo Noh, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Seadronix, said: “Being tested in the Singapore maritime market shows the value of our technology at the forefront of global innovation. We will use Singapore—one of the world’s largest shipping and port hubs—as a springboard to accelerate our overseas expansion.”
