SafeNav is a highly innovative, digital collision prevention solution that will significantly reduce the probability of collisions, impact damage, grounding, and contribute to safer navigation by faster reliable real-time detection of a variety of obstacles (other vessels, fixed installations, submerged / semi-submerged objects, and marine mammals) in the marine environment, using data from state- of-the art sensors and other relevant sources, and effective visual representation of the multi- source data to the navigators for quick COLREG- based decision- making support. This is a stepping-stone towards remote-operated and autonomous shipping.
