Marine Eye
Autonomous mooring surveillance system
Marine Eye is an innovative anchorage and marina monitoring system that combines mechanical, gravity, and optical sensors with advanced software solutions for the surveillance of mooring and departures from moorings.
SManagement and surveillance of anchorages and marinas
The management and surveillance of maritime domain is of great strategic interest for anchorages and marinas in all maritime countries, including the Republic of Croatia. The lack of high-tech solutions to upgrade the operations of anchorages and marinas motivated us to launch the Marine Eye project. The objective of this project is to automate and optimise the operations of anchorages and marinas based on our innovative solution.
Surveillance of anchorages and marinas
The Marine Eye system is mainly used for the monitoring and surveillance of moorings in anchorages and marinas. The system provides real-time monitoring of the mooring occupancy status, which helps our clients to optimise their business and gives their customers a realistic insight into the occupied or vacant positions in anchorages and marinas.
Advantages
-
Simple setup
The electronic device is easily mounted to an anchor rope, which is then tied to a suitable mooring buoy.
-
Central management system
After a vessel is moored to a buoy, i.e. when the rope is lifted from the sea surface, occupancy signals collected from the electronic devices mounted on the mooring rope are sent to the central system via the base station.
-
Analytics and alerts
The central system provides an overview of occupied mooring positions in real time and generates other useful statistical data.
-
Autonomous operation of the system
Solar power supply of the base station and wireless data transfer enable completely autonomous system operation.
Technical features
-
Mooring rope with a mounted electronic device
An electronic device is mounted to the mooring rope of the buoy.
-
Automatic mooring occupancy detection
Upon mooring a vessel on a buoy, a signal of its occupancy is sent to the base station from the electronic device mounted to the mooring rope.
-
Connection to the central system
A mooring occupancy signal from a base station is further sent to the central system.
-
Advanced user interface
Information on anchorage occupancy is available to system users on PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
Market
Although originally designed to control moorings, certain adjustments can provide the Marine Eye system with a wide range of applications in the areas of maritime security, transport, and physical planning. In addition, it can be used to prevent further marine pollution, illegal anchoring, and illegal fishing. With certain adjustments, the system is applicable in the field of defence and maritime security. The Marine Eye system can be used by scientific institutions to carry out maritime studies.

Projekt
Project name: Marine Eye - Maritime IoT System
Description and goal of the project: The goal of the project is the capitalization of the technology of the project partners, the company IRI d.o.o. and Occuli Mare d.o.o. in the maritime industry.
The concept combines gravity sensors and optical sensors for the detection of events such as: sailing in, out, anchoring, high tension of the anchor rope, etc.
The problems addressed by the project are: serial production, simple assembly, recyclability, reliability of the system, the possibility of business replication, etc. The application of the system is planned in aquaculture, anchorage reservation systems and environmental monitoring systems.
As part of the experimental development, the development of the sensor system, the accompanying IT management system and PILOT testing were carried out. The pilot system was installed in three locations: Stončica bay on Vis, Kaštel Gomilica and on the island of Iž.
Supported by the Norway Grants 2014-2021, in the frame of the Programme on Business Development and Innovation Croatia.
