Transforming Passenger Transport with AI-Powered Autonomy
The ferry industry is undergoing a transformation as autonomous technology enhances the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of both crewed and uncrewed vessels. Marine AI’s GuardianAI enables intelligent navigation, real-time risk assessment, and streamlined operations—ensuring ferries operate with greater reliability and lower operational costs.
Enhancing Ferry Operations with GuardianAI
✅ Autonomous Navigation & Collision Avoidance
GuardianAI integrates with existing fitted radar, AIS, cameras, and sonar systems to provide real-time situational awareness, allowing ferries to safely navigate busy waterways and adapt to changing conditions.
✅ Risk-Aware Supervisory Control
In the event of unexpected obstacles or operational risks, GuardianAI dynamically adjusts vessel behaviour—slowing down, increasing safe distances, or stopping in place—while alerting operators for intervention if needed.
✅ Scalable Automation for Crewed & Uncrewed Operations
GuardianAI supports traditionally crewed, semi-autonomous and fully autonomous ferries and passenger vessels, improving efficiency while maintaining human oversight when necessary.
✅ Environmental & Cost Benefits
Autonomous systems optimise fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower operational costs, making ferry transport greener and more economical.
