A.S. Prote Maritime Ltd at SEC4BLUEconomy24 Conference, 23rd of April 2024

On April 23, 2024, A.S. Prote Maritime Ltd proudly participated in the 1st SEC4BLUEconomy Conference held in Athens, focusing on security challenges and innovation opportunities across the Blue Economy.

As an active member of the PASITHEA consortium, A.S. Prote Maritime Ltd took the opportunity to disseminate the objectives and progress of the PASITHEA project to a diverse audience of industry stakeholders, policymakers, defense professionals, and research institutions.

The conference addressed the pressing need for enhanced maritime domain awareness, critical infrastructure protection, and innovative autonomous systems to support the resilience and safety of maritime operations — themes that lie at the core of the PASITHEA project.

Through targeted discussions, networking, and the sharing of key insights, PASITHEA’s vision was showcased: the development of a Hybrid Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle (HAUV) capable of seamless transitions between air and underwater environments to support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in maritime and defense operations.

The event served as a valuable platform to raise awareness of PASITHEA’s role in enhancing European technological sovereignty, dual-use applications, and cutting-edge autonomous systems, while also identifying synergies with broader initiatives within the security and maritime innovation landscape.
