BrainCreators, an innovative pioneer in AI and digital inspection solutions, is excited to announce the availability of its maritime surveillance system, SEAGULL, for use in the United Kingdom. SEAGULL is an advanced SaaS solution specifically designed for continuous and automated vessel monitoring for ports, harbours, coasts, bridges, locks and waterways.
To mark this expansion, BrainCreators will be part of the Dutch Trade Mission at the prestigious London International Shipping Week, an event that brings together global maritime professionals to explore the latest developments and innovations in the industry.
Expansion of SEAGULL
In January 2023, BrainCreators proudly introduced SEAGULL in the Netherlands. Since its launch, SEAGULL has been successfully rolled out by its launching customer, Scheveningen Harbour (The Hague), and is currently being implemented at various other ports and municipalities.

The expansion of SEAGULL to the United Kingdom is a logical step for BrainCreators. The United Kingdom (UK) experiences significantly higher maritime traffic due to its geographical positioning as an island nation and its prominent role in international trade and shipping.
Efficiency of shipping activities
The UK boasts an extensive coastline, numerous ports and maritime routes that serve as crucial nodes for trade, transportation and logistics. Major ports like the Port of London, Southampton, Liverpool, Felixstowe and various other facilities contribute to a bustling maritime environment.
As a result, effectively monitoring all maritime traffic is a complex challenge. Effective digital maritime surveillance and monitoring solutions, such as SEAGULL, can therefore play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of shipping activities in the UK.
SEAGULL's technology
SEAGULL's technology provides operators with comprehensive insights into maritime activities
SEAGULL's capabilities are diverse: it adeptly distinguishes among various ship types, gauges the speed of passing vessels, and meticulously logs entry and exit times. An automatic logbook captures all developments, facilitating comprehensive evaluations and analyses.
Via an intuitive and user-friendly dashboard, SEAGULL's technology provides operators with comprehensive insights into maritime activities, encompassing vessel types, dates, times, directions, and speeds. Moreover, the system proactively notifies operators when vessels exceed speed limits or traverse during night-time hours, thereby augmenting maritime safety.
SEAGULL's design
A notable feature is that SEAGULL also identifies non-AIS (automatic identification system) vessel traffic. Think of ships, boats or other vehicles on the water on which no AIS transponders are installed. These vessels are not visible on AIS tracking systems, which can potentially pose problems in managing maritime traffic and ensuring safe navigation, especially in areas of heavy shipping or complex waterways.
In particular, SEAGULL's design strictly adheres to relevant privacy laws and guidelines
In this way, users can better identify trends, distinguish unconventional ship manoeuvres and take appropriate measures to increase efficiency and safety in maritime traffic. In particular, SEAGULL's design strictly adheres to relevant privacy laws and guidelines. The data it collects is used solely for monitoring and securing port operations, with strict protocols to prevent unauthorised access and misuse.
