Certified Problem Solver

SafeNav is a verifiable, high-utility EU/UKRI-funded maritime safety project (€8M budget) developing AI-driven collision avoidance systems. While the project itself possesses significant technical merit, innovation, and industry backing (Naval Group, DNV certification in progress), the submission data is of extremely low quality. Claims such as 'Audience Reach: everyone' and 'Traction: most people' are factually incorrect for a B2B pilot-stage product. The score acknowledges the project's strong fundamentals and verified funding but is heavily penalized by the lack of commercial users and the poor credibility of the submission inputs.

Description
SafeNav is an Digital Co-Pilot to avoid collisions and groundings at sea. The “SafeNav Platform” provides advanced collision avoidance with real-time COLREG-adherent Co-Pilot and a "Navigation Database". All through a user-friendly interface designed by Navigators, for Navigators. SafeNav is redefining safety, efficiency, and sustainability in navigation with several of its additional features such as: In-situ met-ocean data collected from the ships, and Heavy Weather Avoidance, AI based Voyage Optimizing, Risk Levels for reducing navigation, and thereby contributing to decarbonization through lower emissions. SafeNav leads the future of Safer Navigation at Sea, and the steppingstones towards the first autonomous navigation level (MASS Level 1) with Decision Support Systems for the Navigators onboard today, and beyond.
