A voice crackles over the radio. Panic. A fire onboard. No location. No number of people. Silence.
Now imagine if AI could step in, capture the message, fill in the gaps, call for help, save lives.
In this episode, we explore how a distress call during a sailing trip became the starting point of a deeptech journey aiming to transform VHF, the “walkie-talkie of the ocean”, into a real-time intelligent safety assistant powered by AI.
From hackathon to mission-critical deployment with the French Coast Guard (CROSS), discover how maritime safety may be on the verge of a leapfrog moment.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
· The origin story: a real Mayday call that sparked an innovation journey
· Ocean Hackathon → prototype: 48 hours together, pure focus, and nonstop feedback loops
· Why it was hard at first: Big Tech overlooked maritime, no relevant data to train models
· Why VHF fails under stress (no replay, accents, missing info) and how AI helps operators capture the essentials
· From B2C to B2B/B2G: co-developing with CROSS for mission-critical use, on-site immersion in operations
· The smartphone effect at sea: “rent a boat with an app” → more people, less trained VHF users → too many distress calls
· The tech, simply: speech-to-text with domain models, call classification, searchable logs, supervisor overview
· Data, not hype: why general AI fails at sea and why annotated maritime data (from CROSS) wins
· Dual-use angles: from safety to security, piracy comms, multilingual signals, and situational awareness
· Data protection done right: on-prem vs EU cloud, GDPR, certifications & sovereign choices
· Go-to-market reality: competitors, differentiation, and value-based licensing.
· Founder lessons: team fit, funding via contests, patience, and momentum
Key question:
How do you turn noisy VHF distress calls into life-saving decisions without overwhelming operators or compromising data security?Thank you for listening to BlueTech Around the World! 🌊✨
