This offering includes U.S. Patent #6904341 (Issued June 7, 2005) and U.S. Patent #8996210 (Issued March 31, 2015) for an Integrated Vessel Monitoring and Control System. These patents form the foundation of a sophisticated, internet-enabled “black box” for marine vessels capable of real-time monitoring, alerting, and remote operation.
Developed by Sea-Watch Technologies, Inc.™, the system enables remote oversight of yachts, cruisers, and entire fleets using cellular, satellite, and wireless communication. When cellular coverage is unavailable, the system automatically defaults to satellite ensuring uninterrupted monitoring from anywhere in the world.
Built using software robust enough to support NASA space operations, the Sea-Watch Integrated System (SIS) provides a secure platform for:
Remote monitoring of vessel systems
Real-time GPS tracking
Security breach alerts
Weather warnings
Fuel and engine system status
Sensor-based alerts sent directly to a user’s mobile device or computer
Communication across multiple remote sites using interchangeable technologies
Designed for simplified installation, the SIS can be incorporated into existing vessels or integrated directly by OEMs. It provides boat owners, fleet managers, and security professionals with actionable, real-time vessel intelligence—anytime, anywhere.
The patented technology includes:
A monitoring system with onboard sensors connected to a central processor
Multi-mode communication components (cellular, satellite, wireless)
Automatic selection of the communication method compatible with each remote site
A method for generating and transmitting signals representing vessel system status
Systems designed for both active operation and unattended docked vessels
Security, safety, operational, and environmental monitoring capabilities
This innovation addresses a critical need in marine technology: continuous vessel oversight to prevent intrusions, detect failures, and maintain passenger safety.
