Hefring Marine, a leader in marine artificial intelligence solutions, today announced that its Intelligent Marine Assistance System (IMAS) is now available as an approved integration on Raymarine's LightHouse operating system.
This collaboration enables Raymarine Axiom display users to access IMAS's advanced AI-powered digital assistant directly from their helm, delivering real-time guidance for safer, more efficient voyages.
The IMAS Helm serves as an intelligent co-pilot for vessel operators, providing continuous monitoring and analysis of vessel performance, weather conditions, and operational parameters. The system delivers actionable insights and recommendations that help mariners optimize fuel consumption, enhance safety, and make more informed decisions on the water.
"We're excited to bring IMAS to Raymarine's extensive user base," said Karl Birgir Björnsson, CEO of Hefring Marine. "This collaboration represents an important milestone in making advanced marine AI technology more accessible to mariners worldwide. By integrating with Raymarine's trusted LightHouse OS, we're able to deliver our intelligent automation capabilities directly to the helm, where they can have the most immediate impact on vessel operations and safety."
Through seamless integration with Raymarine's LightHouse OS, Axiom users can now access IMAS' comprehensive suite of features without switching between systems or devices. The integration brings together Raymarine's industry-leading marine electronics with Hefring Marine's cutting-edge AI technology to create a more intuitive and responsive boating experience.
"At Raymarine, we are committed to delivering solutions that elevate mariners' awareness and make their time on the water safer and more enjoyable," said Michelle Hildyard, VP of Operations at Raymarine. "Our collaboration with Hefring Marine aligns with our mission to deliver seamless integration of our LightHouse OS with the best marine innovators. With Hefring Marine's advanced IMAS Helm integration, Axiom users can now take advantage of this powerful AI-powered digital assistant directly from their Axiom display, making their time on the water more fuel efficient and safer."
The IMAS integration with Raymarine's LightHouse OS marks the latest expansion of Hefring Marine's mission to make advanced marine AI technology accessible across multiple platforms and vessel types. As the maritime industry continues to embrace digital transformation, collaborations like this demonstrate the growing role of intelligent automation in modern vessel operations.
