Project details

Project description

SEA PROVEN designs, manufactures and operates a constellation of "Autonomous Surface Vessel"; in order to collect oceanic data #OceanBigData. Similar to satellites in the sea, our vessels are 15m long, remote-controlled with an operational autonomy of 10 months thanks to solar and wind energy production. Thanks to our space partners, our boats can collect no less than 50 different types of data, transmitted in real time via satellite communications. By positioning itself at the interface of the space and maritime domains, SEA PROVEN completes the space observation systems by collecting unique data over very large areas.

The problem we are solving

We are the only company in the world who can operate a vessel 100% electric in total autonomy during 10 months (our competitor can do that for. a few days only).

Sustainable impact on Blue Economy

1 - The first, already carried out, aimed to prove the reliability of our ships. Today we are proud to have designed and manufactured two fully operational SphyrnaALVs. We operated them in particularly difficult winter conditions in the Mediterranean Sea on behalf of our first exceptional clients: the Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Monaco Explorations and ACCOBAMS. 2 - The second step is to prepare for our change of scale. To do that, we need to carry out a market study, on a European scale, which will allow us to understand with more finesse, the needs and constraints of our clients. 3 - The next step aims to constitute a first fleet of 5 SphyrnaALV by the end of 2022, fully interfaced with our partners in the space sector, which will allow us to operate over a large strategic area in total autonomy, and to show our end customers and partners the value of the unique data that we will collect and transmit in real time. Our funding requirement for this amounts to ? 3.5M.
