WHO WE HELP
Working with organisations shaping maritime change
ClearSeas Maritime works with organisations developing, adopting, governing and enabling the changes reshaping maritime activity. We're often brought in where an idea, capability or requirement needs stronger definition, evidence, assurance or a credible route to implementation.
Support can range from early strategy and project shaping through to readiness, adoption and independent review.
Tech developers & integrators
Maritime context, project shaping and adoption support for emerging technologies, products and systems.
Public authorities & agencies
Independent expertise for maritime policy, programmes, innovation activity and transition challenges.
Offshore & marine technology
Support for offshore infrastructure, sea-space interaction, marine technology and responsible pathways to deployment.
Ports, harbours & infrastructure
Independent support on future port capability, infrastructure planning, readiness and operational change.
Maritime services & operators
Operational insight and practical support for organisations adopting new technologies, systems and ways of working.
Investors & decision-makers
Independent perspective to help assess opportunities, test assumptions and strengthen confidence in maritime delivery.

the sector's future
WHEN INVOLVE US?
At the point where maritime change
becomes complex
ClearSeas Maritime is often brought in when an opportunity, requirement or emerging capability needs clearer defintion, stronger evidence or a
credible route forward.
APPLIED TECHNOLOGY
Exploring maritime technology through practical development.
ClearSeas Maritime develops small-scale demonstrators and test environments to explore how emerging technologies can be applied in real maritime settings. This work complements our advisory activity, giving us hands-on insight into the opportunities, limitations and practical challenges involved in sensing connectivity, edge computing and maritime data applications.
Maritime
Sensing
Exploring distributed, low-cost sensing for environmental and operational data collection.
Sensing and data collection
Edge
Computing
Testing how data can be processed locally where connectivity, bandwidth or latency may be constrained.
Local processing and analytics
Operational Intelligence
We focus effort where it adds value, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
From data to insight
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
Maritime Edge Lab
A practical test envionment for distributed sensing, edge processing and maritime data applications.
Our Maritime Edge Lab (MEL) is a modular, retrofit-focused demonstrator developed to explore how sensors, communications and local computing can work together in maritime environments. Built on accessible hardware, it provides a practical platform for integrating sensors, testing onboard processing and demonstrating how locally generated data can support real maritime applications — particularly where connectivity may be limited or intermittent.
Built for maritime environments. Designed for practical use.
COLLABORATION
Interested in testing an idea?
We're open to collaboration with technology developers, researchers and maritime organisations exploring practical applications for sensing, edge computing and operational intelligence.
Built to support maritime change
ClearSeas Maritime was established to help organisations navigate the technological, regulatory, operational and environmental changes reshaping maritime activity.
Maritime transition rarely follows a simple or predictable path. Emerging technologies, new requirements and evolving operating models often progress at different speeds, creating gaps between ambition, readiness and delivery. ClearSeas Maritime works across these interfaces—connecting technical possibility with regulatory expectations, operational reality and commercial context.
We work closely with clients as needs develop, helping define the challenge, test assumptions, strengthen the evidence and shape credible responses. Our involvement can extend from early exploration and strategic framing through to assurance, adoption planning and delivery support.
Our independent model provides the freedom to explore new concepts and build each engagement around the transition being navigated. Where broader capability is required, we collaborate with trusted specialists and delivery partners to bring together the right expertise without adding unnecessary complexity.
ABOUT US
OUR FOUNDER
A perspective shaped across maritime
André Cocuccio is a maritime technologist with more than 25 years’ experience spanning seagoing operations, hydrography and ocean data, maritime safety and regulation, industry leadership, consultancy and applied technology development.
That breadth shapes ClearSeas Maritime’s whole-system view of maritime change and its ability to connect strategic ambition with the technical, regulatory and operational conditions required for delivery.
As Founder and Principal, André remains directly involved in client work and collaborates with trusted specialists where additional expertise or delivery capability is required.
ClearSeas Maritime draws on André's experience gained working for, with and alongside organisations across public service, industry, research and the professional community:
OUR MISSION
Working to shape a safer, smarter and cleaner maritime future.
Maritime transition brings new requirements, emerging capabilities and evolving ways of operating. We help organisations bring these together in ways that are safe, credible and commercially viable.
OUR PRINCIPLES
What guides our work
01
Independent
We follow the evidence and give the advice we believe is right.
02
Evidence-led
Recommendations are grounded in robust, relevant and proportionate evidence.
03
Proportionate
We focus effort where it adds value, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
04
Practical
Our work is shaped by operational reality and what can actually be delivered.
Good advice should be independent, evidence-led, proportionate and useful.
