Ships have always relied on skilled crews and steady hands at the helm. In recent years, artificial intelligence has begun to transform how ships navigate the world's oceans. What was once limited to manual watchkeeping and fixed routes is now evolving into intelligent, data-driven decision-making that enhances safety, efficiency and sustainability. In this article, we will dive into the potential of AI-powered navigation, the progress already underway, our ESA-funded project AURAN and what it means for the future of maritime operations.

The Copernicus Global Climate Highlights Report 2024, published recently, confirms 2024 as the warmest year on record and the first to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the annual global average temperature. Last year was also the warmest for all continental regions, including Europe, except Antarctica and Australasia.

Oceans are vital ecosystems that sustain life on our planet, yet they face growing threats from climate change, pollution, and human activities. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), also known as the ‘Ocean Decade,’ is a global initiative designed to promote collaborative efforts in ocean science to ensure sustainable management of marine resources. European Earth Observation (EO) data plays a crucial role in this mission by providing essential insights for scientists, policymakers, and industry professionals.

Markets We Serve
1 / 5

We work across sectors where spatial data and AI can drive smarter decisions, from oceans to cities to energy grids.

Maritime & Ports

Maritime & Ports

We support port authorities, shipping operators, logistics firms and decision makers with tools for ETA prediction, congestion analysis, emissions tracking, and smarter maritime domain awareness.

Urban Planning & Infrastructure

Urban Planning & Infrastructure

Our solutions help planners and municipalities monitor land use change, map informal settlements, and make data-informed decisions about zoning, mobility, and housing.

Telecommunications

Telecommunications

Our solutions help telecom operators, tower companies and regulators in reducing OPEX through smarter site planning, cutting site visits with EO-based monitoring and delivering early warnings on risks.

Energy Transition

Energy Transition

We provide geospatial intelligence for offshore wind, artificial reef, solar planning, and marine spatial assessments. Our tools help de-risk infrastructure decisions and accelerate low-carbon development.

Disaster Risk & Insurance

Disaster Risk & Insurance

We deliver early warning systems, flood mapping, and damage assessments to support preparedness and response. We also co-design EO-based index insurance products for climate and disaster risks.

Cartography

Cartography

We craft purpose-driven maps that combine spatial accuracy with visual storytelling—transforming complex data into intuitive visuals for planning, communication, and decision-making.

Environmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring

We track land degradation, water quality, air pollution, and mining impact using EO analytics. Our solutions assist environmental agencies, ESG consultants, and conservation programs.

Our collaboration with SPACE-SHIP tested an AI-based tool for supporting decision-making at the planning level, capable of delivering real-time situational awareness and predictability for vessel arrivals. The results obtained have allowed the understanding of how this type of solution could be adapted to the particular case of the Port of Algeciras, to support Just-in-Time arrivals, and minimize waiting times and emissions.

What Sets Us Apart: Focused expertise. Thoughtful design. Solutions that deliver.

We Know the Terrain

From Earth Observation science to port logistics and climate adaptation, our team brings sector-specific understanding that goes beyond the tech stack. We speak the language of domain experts; so our solutions reflect the real challenges, constraints, and decisions our clients face.

We Build with Purpose

Every tool we create is designed around a clear use case and user need. We don’t over-engineer or add layers of complexity where none are needed. Our focus is on delivering intuitive, transparent solutions that are easy to adopt and ready for real-world use from day one.

We Blend AI with Insight

We don’t just apply machine learning, we apply it wisely. Our models are explainable, tuned to the data environment, and always grounded in domain logic. This means clients not only get smarter tools, but also ones they can trust, interrogate, and adapt over time.

Why Partner with SPACE-SHIP?

We build solutions that work; in your context, at your scale, to create measurable impact.

Domain-Driven, Not Generic

Our team combines technical depth with real-world expertise in diverse EO domains including maritime, agriculture, climate, and urban systems; so every solution is built for impact, not just innovation.

Tailored, Not Off-the-Shelf

We co-design every solution with you using satellite data, in-situ sensors, and AI; to solve your specific challenges, not force-fit a platform.

Built to Scale, Ready to Integrate

From APIs and dashboards to decision-support systems and technical studies, we deliver solutions that plug into your workflow and grow with your needs.
