Overview

Seadronix develops AI-powered autonomous ship navigation and port-management systems, including NAVISS, Rec-SEA, and AVISS. Founded in 2015 and based in Seoul, South Korea, the company builds situational-awareness AI trained on extensive real-world operational data. Its technology has received global recognition, including a CES 2024 Innovation Award, the world's first type approval from a classification society, and certifications from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. Seadronix participates in government-led programs such as the KRW 160 billion Autonomous Ship Technology Development Project and has secured international contracts in markets including Singapore and the Netherlands. The company plans to further advance ship AI and robotics technologies and accelerate global deployment of its autonomous navigation solutions. Management emphasizes delivering practical, revenue-generating AI solutions and leading efforts to set standards that comply with international autonomous navigation regulations. Seadronix develops AI software and monitoring systems to reduce sailor involvement in cargo-ship navigation. Founded in 2015, its two main products are a berthing monitoring system for docks and a separate monitoring system for open-water navigation, currently operating in four ports across Korea. The company says its proprietary systems could address about 75% of maritime accidents stemming from human error and environmental issues, including carbon dioxide leaks. Seadronix states its mission is to be an AI platform that ensures ocean safety and environmental protection. SoftBank Ventures Asia led a $5.8 million investment in the company, bringing total funding to date to $8.3 million. With the new funding, Seadronix plans to recruit more talent in AI, sensor fusion and navigation and to accelerate its global market penetration.
