SEAWISE — Smart Emissions Analytics with Integrated Shipping Evaluation
SEAWISE is an AI-powered maritime emissions monitoring platform developed by Digital InnoCent (DIC) in partnership with the University of Strathclyde and University of Glasgow, with funding from UK SHORE (Department for Transport). It enables ship operators and port authorities to monitor vessel emissions in real time, understand regulatory exposure, and make smarter operational decisions — all without requiring new sensors or hardware on board.
Built on the DIC CloudMATE® platform architecture, SEAWISE integrates Automatic Identification System (AIS) data with a lifecycle emissions framework (Well-to-Wake) and AI-guided speed optimisation to deliver practical compliance support under FuelEU Maritime, IMO Net-Zero Framework, and UK ETS regulations.
Maritime Emissions Regulations Are Getting Stricter — Is Your Fleet Ready?
The maritime sector is under growing regulatory pressure. FuelEU Maritime came into force in January 2025. The IMO Net-Zero Framework introduces a global GHG fuel intensity standard from 2028. The UK ETS extends to domestic maritime from July 2026. Under all three frameworks, non-compliance carries direct financial penalties — and they compound with every voyage.
Most current approaches to emissions monitoring rely on retrospective, aggregated reporting. By the time data is processed, the operational window to reduce penalties has already passed. SEAWISE changes that.
Real-Time Emissions Intelligence — From Raw Data to Regulatory Guidance
SEAWISE connects operational vessel data to lifecycle emissions calculations on a continuous basis. The platform ingests AIS tracking data — position, speed, and timestamp — and computes fuel consumption, GHG emissions intensity, and penalty exposure across all applicable regulatory frameworks, updating in real time as the vessel moves.
No New Hardware Required
SEAWISE uses AIS data that vessels already transmit. There is no need to install additional sensors or onboard systems to begin monitoring — reducing deployment cost and time significantly.
Well-to-Wake Lifecycle Emissions Assessment
Emissions are calculated across the full fuel lifecycle – not just at the point of combustion – aligned with FuelEU Maritime and IMO Net-Zero Framework requirements. Multiple fuel types are supported: MGO, HFO, LFO, LNG, ammonia, and methanol.
Real-Time Vessel Tracking & Visualisation
A live map shows your fleet's vessels, their current tracks colour-coded by speed, and their compliance status at a glance. Drill into any vessel for detailed performance data.
Multi-Regulatory Compliance Tracking
Simultaneous monitoring against FuelEU Maritime, IMO NZF, and UK ETS – each with their own GHG intensity thresholds and penalty structures – in one unified dashboard.
Scenario Simulation
Test the impact of different speed profiles, fuel types, or routing decisions before committing. Operators can simulate compliance outcomes and cost savings across multiple scenarios before departure.
AI-Guided Speed Optimisation
SEAWISE's AI analyses your vessel's speed profile to recommend stable speeds that minimise emissions and regulatory penalties. Speed variability, not just average speed, drives penalties. Our system has reduced penalties by 30% to 73%, depending on vessel type.
Built for Everyone in the Maritime Compliance Chain
Ship Operators & Fleet Managers
Reduce penalty exposure, improve fuel efficiency, and demonstrate regulatory compliance with confidence. SEAWISE provides the operational intelligence to act during a voyage – not after it.
Port Authorities
Gain visibility of incoming vessel emissions profiles and ETA predictions, supporting berth allocation optimisation and port-level emissions reporting.
Environmental & Compliance Teams
Access structured, timestamped emissions data across FuelEU, IMO, and UK ETS frameworks to support MRV reporting workflows and internal sustainability targets.
Vessel Charterers & Cargo Owners
Understand the emissions profile of vessels carrying your cargo and select partners with verified compliance track records.
Research-Grade Methodology, Practical Operational Output
SEAWISE was developed through a UK government-funded feasibility study in partnership with the University of Strathclyde (lifecycle assessment methodology and emissions calculation logic) and the University of Glasgow (techno-economic assessment and performance validation).
The platform’s emissions framework is built on Well-to-Wake lifecycle assessment, linking AIS-derived operational data to fuel consumption, GHG intensity, and regulatory penalty metrics. The AI speed guidance engine was validated across small (31 m passenger), medium (113 m cargo), and large (332 m cargo) vessel categories, demonstrating consistent and significant penalty reductions across all sizes.
The project progressed from TRL 2–3 at start to TRL 4–5 (validated in a relevant environment) and CRL 1–2 to CRL 3–4 (validated technical capability with a clear pathway to market). A roadmap for real-world demonstration and commercialisation has been defined, with the next phase targeting operational vessel deployment from 2026.
