Enhancing Maritime and Border Security with AI Solutions

Island nations and countries with considerable lengths of coastline and sea-facing ports and waterways, are today facing increasing waterborne security threats. Preventing illegal immigration, drug trafficking and potential terrorist activity is a core border force concern, particularly when small, unregistered vessels that are so difficult to detect, target entry points that are unsupervised by border control or other security responders.

SEAGULL Surveillance is a new and unique software offering that uses AI to analyse video footage from waterside cameras in real-time, to visually detect vessels of any size or type up to 1 nautical miles away, and automatically alert operators of abnormal movements in critical areas. Where AIS is not activated, or small craft fall under radar detection, SEAGULL bridges the gaps in vessel surveillance to ensure that nothing goes unnoticed. Images of vessels, their type, size, sailing direction and speed along coastlines, in ports, harbours and waterways are captured, logged and analysed to assist in deterring threats and managing security incidents effectively.

As the maritime industry evolves, AI-driven solutions like SEAGULL Surveillance will play a crucial role in safeguarding our coasts and waterways. SEAGULL is perfectly positioned at the forefront of this technological shift in modern border security.
