Citizen-science fisheries data (AR/AI)

We are currently concentrating on advancing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of our technology. It has successfully operated in a laboratory setting, but we now face the challenge of scaling it up for higher production. This involves changes in dimensions and the integration of logistics. Through this project, we aim to learn how to upscale our solution effectively. We are in the process of implementing it at large water treatment facilities. Once this project is completed, we will move to the next phase, where our system will be integrated with one treatment street of this water treatment facility.

Establishing antifouling management of tomorrow

In collaboration with the manufacturer legal-and financial structures are set up which allow a ferry owner with excellent solvency to benefit from the latest clean-shipping technology. The assets are made available to the ship owner by providing energy-on-board as a service. For investors this is an opportunity for asset-backed clean-shipping impact investments which generate a recurring revenue while at the same time make sure emissions reduction effects.

CLIC SEA targets commercial ports, vessel operators, and environmental service providers seeking sustainable, intelligent solutions for leak detection and pollution control. Our primary market includes medium to large ports across Europe, the Mediterranean, Latin America, and MENA — regions facing increasing environmental regulation and climate-related risk. We also serve port-associated vessels such as ferries, tugs, and logistics support boats through modular sensor-integrated kits. CLIC SEA’s value proposition aligns with port authorities and operators focused on ESG compliance, operational efficiency, and resilience, offering a patented, circular solution for smarter, cleaner marine infrastructure.

Coastal Marine Litter Observatory (CMLO) is a web system designed to detect and map marine litter in the coastal zone with the combined use of drone images and machine learning methods. CMLO has proven its capability to detect and map the marine litter in the coastal zone since it has been extensively used in Greece in more than 85 km of coastline and tested in four other countries (Portugal, Ghana, Israel, Japan). CMLO is able to detect and distinguish the seven main categories of marine litter, including plastics. The system provides functionalities for interaction with the results of the detection for every beach that is monitored. The results presented through CMLO are open through a dedicated geospatial portal. CMLO includes all the derived information as geospatial information related to: points of detection, category of detection, densities of marine litter on the selected areas, litter density maps per area of interest, e.g. island or prefecture, and spatiotemporal visualizations of marine litter per area of interest. The CMLO is a tool for quantitatively presenting marine litter distribution in the coastal zone using automated classification methods. The novelty and innovation of the CMO lie in our integrated approach, where drone data in combination with AI techniques and geoinformatics united into one workflow for marine litter detection and mapping. Through the CMLO SDI portal, users can interact and compare the marine litter detection results for every beach monitored. CMLO and the produced marine litter density maps can be used as a decision-making tools for policymakers and scientists. The integration and visualization of the litter density information allow for facilitating decision-making by stakeholders. Last but not least, the litter density maps and their spatiotemporal analysis are open to the public and organizations (Governments, Local authorities, researchers, NGOs, etc.). In the Coastal Marine Litter Observatory (CMLO), the detection of marine litter results is visualized as density maps. CMLO includes all the derived information as geospatial information related to: Densities of marine litter on various beaches in the Greek coastline, Litter density maps per area of interest, Spatiotemporal visualizations of marine litter per area of interest.

COBS is a system that alerts, identify, track & trace and keep overboard shipping containers afloat.

We are modeling Underwater communications using VLC to permits extend the distance of wireless communications under the water for POV or human-to-human.

Our ongoing blue economy project focuses on optimizing maritime operations through advanced IoT technology, enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the maritime industry.

Revolutionize sustainable fish farming with our open-sea platform. This cutting-edge technology boasts the capacity to grow a staggering 7,000 to 10,000 tons of fish annually, even in harsh conditions with waves up to 17 meters. 24/7 automation powered by AI monitors water quality, feeding, and disease prevention, optimizing growth and yield for each fish. Our eco-friendly design minimizes emission and pollution and incorporates sustainable energy sources.

CORALIS by Mariculture Systems is the launching platform of innovative BlueTECH for offshore aquaculture that facilitates sustainable and responsible farming of the ocean. Mariculture Systems Portugal Lda develops, constructs and deploys a launching offshore aquaculture facility 15km off the coast of Vila Real de Santo António in Portuguese Algarve, with a license to the CORALIS bluetech high-capacity offshore platform, in a pre-approved concession in the Maritime Spatial Planning. Mariculture Systems Portugal Lda operates the farming with the Happy Fish methodology, dedicated to sustainable and responsible farming in the natural habitat, animal welfare and health, aimed at minimizing stress and optimizing fish health and quality. The CORALIS platform facilitates growth acceleration of Portuguese aquaculture of Seabass and Seabream aiming to reduce import dependency and developing an export industry for Portuguese-branded high-quality seafood product. The project engages into long-term partnerships with parties up- and down the valuestream, form suppliers of juveniles and fish feed to offtakers in retail, wholesale and HoReCa, to build an optimal market position with high-quality seafood product at a very short time-to-market. The installation serves as a showcase for multiplication in Portuguese waters, both continental and in the outermost regions, as well as other locations for offshore aquaculture, where the design to withstand 9-meter significant waves and the capability to lower cages to 35 meter below sea-level can sustain harsh weather and secure continued operations all year. The project installation will engage collaborations for continuous aquaculture innovation and marine observation, with universities, R&D entities, Ocean Observatories.

Maritime transport is an essential link in the global economy. Today, more than 100,000 ships criss-cross the world’s ocean. Unfortunately, the sector is also responsible for more than 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Faced with this challenge, Brittany-based start-up Cormoran has developed a concept of rigid solar wings for shipowners to propel merchant ships sustainably and supply them with electricity. Founded in 2024, the company has worked with naval architecture firm Ship-ST, of which it is a spin-off (a separate company but with the same shareholders), to develop this system.

We are working on floating, wind-powered "Offshore H2 Generators" that will be operated in sea areas with high wind speeds without a power grid connection. The hydrogen produced is then immediately stored in a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and transported at intervals by shuttle tanker to nearby industrial ports (cf. FPSO process). We have been invited by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action to submit applications for "Prototype development of a floating offshore H2 generator and planning of GW offshore hydrogen farms". Now, with the help of BlueInvest, we want to start planning the financing of a prototype. This is a requirement for the subsequent construction of GW hydrogen farms with industrial/VC-investors within the EEZs of European states.
