Swiss Ocean Tech is a Swiss company established in 2020 by a team with expertise in sailing, electrical engineering, mechatronics, and communications. The company focuses on maritime safety technology, specifically addressing the challenges of secure anchoring.

  • Providing early alarms
  • Real-time identification of a dragging anchor
  • Monitoring absolute movement of the anchor
  • Contributing to the preservation of the environment

The flagship product, AnchorGuardian, is a monitoring solution that uses patented technology to detect anchor drag in real time. The system operates independently of boat movement and provides autonomous notifications to the captain and crew to prevent damage to the yacht or the marine environment.

The technology supports the entire anchoring process, including laying, monitoring while at anchor, and lifting. The solution is designed for a range of boats, including leisure craft, superyachts, fishing boats, and merchant ships.

AnchorGuardian monitors the absolute movement of the anchor to provide early alarms if the hardware shifts. The system aims to provide a universal standard for anchoring safety while minimizing the impact of maritime activities on the seabed.
