What they do

Their core work

SEABILITY is a Greek SME specializing in maritime and transport ICT solutions, with a strong focus on shipping, port operations, and connected transport systems. They provide digital communication infrastructure, cybersecurity services, and data-driven applications for the maritime logistics sector. Their work spans from port digitalization and autonomous vessel support to maritime safety systems including evacuation planning and life-saving appliance design. They also contribute ICT architecture expertise to connected road transport and electric vehicle deployment projects.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Transport logistics and e-mobility
Recent focus
Maritime cybersecurity and autonomy

SEABILITY's early H2020 work (2017-2018) centered on logistics networks, electric vehicle deployment, and port modernization — essentially digitizing existing transport infrastructure. From 2019 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward maritime-specific challenges: cybersecurity for shipping, autonomous vessel operations, and advanced safety systems using AI and augmented reality. This evolution shows a company that started as a general transport ICT provider and progressively specialized in the maritime digital domain.

SEABILITY is converging on smart maritime systems — expect them to pursue autonomous shipping, maritime cyber resilience, and AI-assisted safety in future projects.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European17 countries collaborated

SEABILITY operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing focused technical expertise to larger initiatives. With 140 unique partners across 17 countries in just 7 projects, they work in large consortia (averaging 20 partners per project) and have built an extensive European network. This broad partner base suggests they are valued as a reliable technical contributor that integrates well into diverse teams rather than anchoring projects themselves.

Extensive network of 140 unique partners across 17 countries, built through participation in large EU consortia. Based in Athens with a pan-European reach, reflecting the international nature of maritime transport and logistics.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

SEABILITY sits at the intersection of maritime operations and digital technology — a combination that is relatively rare among Greek SMEs in H2020. Their portfolio covers the full maritime digital stack from port systems and vessel automation to onboard safety and cybersecurity. For consortium builders, they offer a single partner that understands both the shipping domain and the ICT infrastructure needed to modernize it.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • MOSES
    Their most recent and highest-funded project (EUR 232,500), focused on automated vessels and supply chain optimization for short sea shipping — aligns with their maritime specialization trajectory.
  • SafePASS
    Combines AI, augmented reality, and crowd simulation for ship evacuation — shows SEABILITY's capability to work on safety-critical maritime systems with advanced technology.
  • Cyber-MAR
    Addresses the growing threat of maritime cybersecurity with cyber range exercises — positions SEABILITY in a high-demand niche as shipping digitalization accelerates.

Analysis note: Profile is based on 7 projects with consistent maritime/transport focus, giving reasonable confidence. However, SEABILITY never coordinated a project, and no website is available for verification, which limits insight into their core commercial activities beyond EU project participation. The company name references shipping and communications (Naftiliakes = shipping, Epikoinoniakes = communications), which corroborates the maritime ICT profile.
