Presented by co-founders Ruben Verplancke and Sebastian Hamers, Sealution (BE) is a hardware enabled software company that unlocks below deck connectivity. They apply their technology to enable extensive predictive maintenance of the vessel and crew-safety improvements.

Primary features

• Crew Safety System (CSS)

  This allows crew members to send out a distress signal to the bridge when an incident occurs. Additionally, the CSS will also be equipped with sensors to monitor the crews’ vitals and detect potential falls. This way the mustering of the crew or a specific person from the bridge can be done with ease and fully automated.

• Gear Box & Shaft Data

  Properly aligned propulsion shaft and sound gearbox systems are critical to maintaining smooth operation of a vessel’s propulsion system. Failures could lead to expensive loss of hire and disruption in vessel’s schedule of operation. Through deep analysis, these risks can be mitigated beforehand.

• Stern Seals Data

  It is important to be able to monitor the status of the tubes to prevent catastrophic failures. The seals are too deep below deck to use any other data transmission system except for cables.

• Vessel Management System (VMS)

  While many industries have undergone rapid digitalization, the maritime industry has been lagging behind. The VMS will be a platform for both ship owners and their captains. This allows ship owners to have a good overview of what is happening on board and monitor the status of the ship. Which eliminates some tedious tasks on board e.g. crew member evaluations, crew replacements, inventory management, etc.
