Autonomous shipping startup Orca AI tops up with $23M led by OCV Partners and MizMaa Ventures
The so-called ‘autonomous navigation’ market -- where ships steer themselves guided by AI, resulting in fuel and time savings -- is projected to grow from $4.46 billion in 2023 to $5.33B in 2024 alone. Orca AI is a London-based startup that claims to have powered the world’s first autonomous commercial ship voyage in congested waters. Founded by Israeli naval technology experts, Yarden Gross and Dor Raviv, Orca AI’s platform processes multiple sources of visual information during navigation at sea, keeping the ship on course and freeing up the crew to monitor other aspects of the voyage, such as -- in increasingly unstable geopolitical times -- drone attacks and piracy.
