Yarden Gross & Dor Raviv: Redefining Safe Maritime Transport with Smart Automated AI SeaPod Tech Easing Vision, Fuel, and Navigation at Orca AI Entrepreneur Gulf. Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv, Co-Founders, Orca AI. Have you ever given a moment’s thought to think that if the people at the time had access to AI, Software, Advanced Information, and Technological Solutions like today, we would have avoided the terrible tragedy that the „Formidable and Unsinkable Titanic‟ met with back in 1912? Surely, there are groups and organizations of people already out there who have researched this, charting out the many ways that this unfortunate circumstance could’ve been entirely avoided if this incident had happened today. Luckily, with today’s advanced technologies in software and hardware, information, data analytics, and insights, and just how far we have come since 1912 for sure, we now have the much-required access to enhanced and safer maritime transport, navigation, visibility, fuel-saving, documentation and training. All through the power of AI - its deep learning tech tools combined with existing onboard sensors, an Israeli-based firm - Orca AI, a provider of navigational solutions offers tech- integrated AI solutions in Maritime Transport, highly designed to minimize complex marine traffic situations with its proprietary Automated Orca AI’s Sea Pod technology. Orca AI was co-founded and established in 2018 by Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv in Tel Aviv. This article shall delve into the world of safe marine transportation solutions with today’s AI and Technological capabilities that allow for the safe voyage, transport, and end destination of big ships on unpredictable waters. Discover how the founders - Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv came together to establish Orca AI, sharing the same vision of providing operational solutions that are safe, efficient, sustainable, and profitable. Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv - The Visionaries Behind Orca AI and its Automated Orca AI’s SeaPod Tech: Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv are the Co-founders of Orca AI, with Yarden being the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Dor being the Chief Technology Officer. Established Orca AI’s headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel, the founders aimed to provide marine transport solutions, redefining safer and visible navigation on the waters through combined AI, Collective Learning, and On-Board Sensors, to create Orca AI’s SeaPod proprietary hardware technology. Yarden Gross, an entrepreneur and an experienced worker with maritime technologies has prior educational qualifications that include a Bachelor’s in Economics and Business from Reichman University - IDC Herzliya, and attending a Zell Entrepreneurship Program from the same center in Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Studies. Before Orca AI, Yarden co- founded and led Engie - a car repair marketplace.
Dor Raviv, an AI Algorithms Engineer and Professional Maritime Navigation Instructor, has an education that includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management, and Database Management from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Bring a driver of change and innovative disruptor, Orca AI’s CTO had a career as a Data Mining Engineer and Team Lead, Deep Learning Data Engineer, and Project Management Officer of Unmanned Autonomous Israeli Navy Ships. Yarden and Dor also identified other pressing problems apart from the various complex marine traffic situations that occur. There have been many incidences of Whale deaths from collisions with big ships that voyage at and during low visibility and tense weather conditions. Regardless of the trained and professional manpower on board, not every situation can be controlled and action-driven quickly even with guiding radar equipment. Such are the unpredictable statuses of marine transport. Therefore, to bring all of this under control and to minimize any type and kind of accidents out on the waters, Orca AI’s SeaPod comes in as a savior, and much-needed at that through “laying the foundation for global adoption of smart and fully autonomous ships.” Thanks to the founders' vision of providing mindful solutions that put maritime transport and navigation at ease, with Orca AI’s fully automated “lookout on the bridge” technology, situational awareness is increased, the need for manpower is reduced, and human errors are eliminated. Orca AI - Shaping the Maritime Shipping Industry with Orca AI’s SeaPod Proprietary Tech Product: With the unfortunate incident that took place just last year in 2023 by OceanGate’s Titan Submersible mishap and implosion on its descent down to the Titanic’s ruins at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, we can never always be sure yet in finding out ways to completely avoid a catastrophic event or disaster during marine transport, unless one, unfortunately, does in fact, occur. Orca AI today has installed its proprietary Orca AI’s SeaPod in 1000+ shipping vessels. This has helped in mirroring human watchkeeping and taken over automation providing enhanced situational awareness. Work required from manpower is further reduced as Orca AI’s SeaPod does all the work facilitating better and much clearer decision-making abilities on-board the vessels. The occurrence of man-made errors too is reduced and eliminated, making operations safe, reliable, trusted, efficient, and effective in visible traverse and navigational safety and fuel-saving efficiency. With Orca AI leveraging its innovative tech product, the detection, tracking, and categorizing of targets like ships at anchor, passing vessels, marine life in close proximities, rocks, and other smaller boats in low visible congested waters and weather conditions, help ships with Orca AI’s SeaPod tech concludes if the approaching or passing target detected poses risks or violates the company’s Safety Management Systems. For this, Orca AI established a digital platform for FleetView Operations and Management that informs the crew of real-time data
and information, sharing CPA (Closest Point of Approach), TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach), SOG (Speed over Ground), and BCR (Bow Crossing Range). Radar, Automatic Identification Systems - AIS, Vessel Traffic Services - VTS, and other navigational and speed parameters and indicators help ease ship navigation out in the ocean and seas. With complex marine traffic situations like high traffic density, narrow waterways, sharing mixed vessels in the same waters, unpredictable weather conditions, navigational dangers, failure in communication and coordination in times of need, and man-made errors, advanced technologies today make maritime transport easy, especially if you are booked with Orca AI!
