Launching SemanticWave: Where Maritime Expertise Meets AI Intelligence

A new journey to redefine maritime data through Semantic Intelligence and Deep Learning.

Launching SemanticWave: Where Maritime Expertise Meets AI Intelligence

Reimagining the Ocean through Data

SemanticWave is officially setting sail.

Born at the intersection of deep-sea experience and advanced data science, we are a tech-driven startup dedicated to the Digital Transformation of the maritime industry. We don’t just process data; we bridge the gap between raw maritime information and actionable intelligence.

What Defines Us

Our strength lies in the synergy between on-site maritime expertise (Navigation & Operations) and cutting-edge AI research.

  • Data Analysis & ML
    Developing high-precision models for fuel consumption prediction and carbon emission analysis. We transform sensor data into operational efficiency.
  • Semantic Intelligence & NLP — NavtexRecovery
    Applying Natural Language Processing to maritime safety. NavtexRecovery is our open-source tool for AI-powered error recovery in NAVTEX messages, combined with semantic classification of S-100 standard data.
  • Next-Gen Standards (S-100) — FerriteS100
    Building a free, open-source S-100 framework implementation. FerriteS100 provides tools for parsing, validating, and working with IHO S-100 standard data to accelerate the future of digital e-Navigation.
  • Maritime Cyber Security
    Protecting shipboard OT/IT systems and communication networks from emerging cyber threats. We research vulnerability assessment, intrusion detection, and resilience strategies for the maritime domain.

Our Vision

“To empower the global maritime ecosystem with seamless, intelligent, and semantic data connectivity.”

We will be sharing our research insights, technical breakthroughs, and the journey of building an AI-native maritime startup right here.

Let’s navigate the future of maritime data together.
