13 Mari (BG)

Installing between 15 and 30 composite elements on the hull of a vessel, without compromising it, to improve streamlining.
13 Mari developed an innovative way to reduce vessel resistance, known as drag, energy use, and fuel consumption in the Maritime, also reducing carbon emissions to align with the industry's goals. Won the Captain Table competition; uniquely positioned to conduct sea trials with two of the top seven maritime companies in the world in addition to trials planned with Maritime companies from Hong Kong, USA, Singapore; Conversations are underway about investment with five vessel owning companies so broad support from the industry appears imminent.

Vision Anchor (SI)

The world's first video anchor monitoring system. 
The world's first smart anchoring system for boats, making anchoring safer for crews and helping preserve the ocean environment. It's a smart buoy that sends location and visual information straight to the user's smart device. With additional sensors (temperature, depth, salinity, etc.) it will be capturing data about the sea in coastal areas for weather modelling, environment research and disaster prediction with their patented solution.
