Overcoming Human Limits in Maritime Surveillance

Written by Seagull Surveillance | Nov 4, 2025 1:50:34 PM

The limits of human eyes

Maritime operators are under constant pressure to keep waters safe, secure, and under control. Ports, coastlines, and waterways are lined with cameras, each streaming 24/7. But as the number of feeds grows, so does the strain on human teams.

Operators must monitor endless video, often in challenging conditions: poor light, fog, rough seas, or fatigue after long shifts.

“No matter how skilled or committed, human eyes
can’t watch everything, all the time.”


The result? Missed details, delayed responses, and the risk of threats slipping through unnoticed.

An assistant that never blinks

Seagull was created to address exactly this challenge. Our AI-powered Assistant integrates seamlessly with existing camera networks to provide continuous, reliable monitoring.

Here’s how it works:

  • 24/7 surveillance: Seagull scans video feeds around the clock, without distraction or fatigue.
  • Sharp detection: From large vessels to smaller, unusual targets, Seagull identifies movement even in difficult visibility.
  • Instant awareness: The system alerts real-time and highlights activity that needs attention, so operators can act quickly.

Think of it as giving your team an extra pair of eyes, that never blink.



Focus where it matters

With Seagull, maritime operators can:

  • Stay alert to unusual vessel behaviour without watching every frame of video.
  • Reduce workload by letting AI filter out routine activity.
  • Increase safety and security while maintaining the same workforce.

The result is sharper visibility, reduced fatigue, and greater peace of mind. Your team focuses on decisions and action, not endless monitoring.

Applied AI in the real world

Seagull is built on Braincreators’ expertise in Applied AI. Our solutions are already deployed with governments and port authorities, proving their value in real-world operations. We don’t promise “magic” AI: we deliver practical, explainable tools that make people’s work easier, smarter, and more effective.


Toward safer waters

As maritime environments grow more complex, traditional monitoring methods are no longer enough. AI-powered Assistants like Seagull are the next step: not replacing human operators, but empowering them to do their jobs better.

The future of maritime safety isn’t more people watching more screens: it’s smarter systems that ensure nothing important goes unseen.

With Seagull, safer waters are within sight, literally. See it, and solve it.

Even with sharper visibility, one challenge remains: how do you detect small or unusual vessels that don’t behave like the rest?
