Port & Waterfront Security

Overview

Intelligent Maritime Security

Our Port & Waterfront Security service provides AI-based surveillance for ports, harbours, jetties, coastlines, inland waterways and water intakes. The system detects boats and ships — from large cargo ships to small inflatable rubber boats — along with dock workers and unauthorised personnel, day and night.

Unlike traditional maritime security that relies on expensive radar systems and manual monitoring, our solution works entirely through existing camera networks — dramatically reducing infrastructure cost while improving detection capability, especially for small and non-metallic vessels that radar cannot reliably detect.

Detection Capabilities

Boat in Restricted Water — berths, jetties, intakes and restricted coastline, from inflatable dinghies to large vessels
Boat Staying Too Long — near a jetty, intake or restricted shore
Boat Traffic Counts — boats in and out at a harbour mouth or channel, by hour and day
Person at the Water's Edge — quay edges, berths, gangways and dock areas, by schedule
Container Numbers at the Gate — container and size / type codes (ISO 6346) read at the gate lane, check-digit verified, with hold-list alerts
Port Gate & Trucks — number-plate register with time on site and overstay alerts
Dock Worker Safety — helmet, vest and fall alerts
Fire & Smoke Early Warning — warehouses and cable rooms

Platform Features

Camera Health & Tamper Alerts — offline, covered or turned cameras
Push Notifications to port security mobile devices
Live Dashboard with maritime event timeline
Event History — every alert with snapshots, searchable; continuous recording stays on your NVR
Relay Outputs — sirens, lights and warning beacons

Why AI Over Radar

Detects Non-Metallic Vessels

Inflatable rubber boats and fibreglass vessels are hard for radar to see — our AI detects them visually, by their shape on camera.

Fraction of the Cost

AI camera-based surveillance costs a fraction of radar installation and maintenance.

Detects Personnel Too

Radar detects vessels — our system also detects individuals on docks, in warehouses, and on vessels simultaneously.

Fully Autonomous

No operator needed to monitor screens. The AI flags threats automatically — port security teams only respond to verified alerts.

Applications

Maritime Environments

Commercial Seaports

Monitor vessel traffic, cargo areas, and restricted dockside zones at major commercial and industrial ports.

Naval & Defence Installations

High-security waterfront monitoring for naval bases and strategic maritime facilities.

Fishing Harbours

Monitor vessel entry and exit, track fishing boat activity, and detect poaching or illegal fishing operations.

Inland Waterways & Rivers

Detect unauthorised boat movement on rivers, canals, and inland water bodies in sensitive areas.

Border & Coastal Security

Detect illegal crossings and smuggling attempts along coastlines and border waterways.

Container Terminals

Detect unauthorised access to restricted areas in busy cargo terminal environments.
