How vessels can support coast guards
MARCONNECT brings together coast guards, public authorities, researchers and industry to develop and test ways for civilian vessels to contribute to maritime surveillance.
Explore the project research- Vessel Sensor Box
- An onboard unit makes data from outward-facing sensors such as radar available for sharing.
- Vessel Owners’ Platform
- A decentralised platform supports secure, voluntary data sharing by vessel operators.
- Command and Control (C2)
- MARCONNECT integrates shared vessel sensor data into existing coast guard systems so operators can build a more complete picture of activity at sea.
- EU-wide use case
- The project tests Vessel-Connected Services with operational partners to assess how the technology works across borders.
