Focus on the SiMar project, Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Structures

The surveillance of port and offshore structures is a growing challenge for operators who are looking for ever more efficient solutions.

A call for expressions of interest, launched by the Syndicat Mixte des Ports de Loire-Atlantique and the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique, has enabled CAPACITÉS and GeM to stand out with a novel proposal for non-invasive monitoring.

Called SIMar, Intelligent Surveillance of Maritime Structures, the system will equip the new MRE quay in the Port of La Turballe (44).
