CASTINE, ME –\u00a0 Maine Maritime Academy<\/a> (MMA) has partnered with SailPlan<\/a>, a maritime technology startup based in Reston, Virginia, to accelerate the development of an intelligent vessel\u2019s development navigation platform and shoreside vessel control.<\/p>\n

MMA will equip its fleet, including the R\/V Quickwater<\/em>, an autonomous 41-ft workboat, <\/em>with SailPlan\u2019s intelligent navigation platform. SailPlan will provide real-time fleet location and health monitoring to MMA\u2019s Shore Control Center resulting in unparalleled vessel telemetry being made available shoreside. SailPlan\u2019s cloud-based route exchange capability will allow autonomous vessels to proactively mitigate collision risks while optimizing routing for efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership is an example of our strategic focus on faculty research,\u201d said Dr. Keith Williamson, MMA\u2019s new Vice President for Academic Affairs. \u201cIt will impact the future of the industry we serve while bringing real-world experience into the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sailplan\u2019s navigation platform increases safety by capturing and analyzing data around vessel traffic, weather, berth availability, and geographic awareness to provide unparalleled situational awareness, resulting in the ability to proactively optimize voyage plans, avoid congested waters, and separate from potential collision scenarios to a far greater degree than possible with current market solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited for our students and for MMA,\u201d said Jennifer Norwood, Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation. \u201cWe have the opportunity to help shape this new technology and put our students at the forefront of advanced navigation development in the maritime industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future of safe navigation rests on digital enablement and vessel connectivity. Our partnership will accelerate the adoption of these foundational, safety-critical technologies that provide advanced collision avoidance, intelligent vessel routing, and increased insight shoreside,\u201d said SailPlan\u2019s CEO, Jacob Ruytenbeek. \u201cMMA has been an incredible partner for SailPlan. We look forward to seeing how this partnership impacts mariner safety and operator efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n
