About

Software & IT Consultancy for
Maritime Applications

Progressive Marine Algorithm designs and delivers software systems and IT consultancy services for maritime industry applications — covering navigation software, simulation platforms, and electronic chart data distribution.

Our products are designed for integration with onboard hardware systems and validated using Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation methodology. We provide technical documentation support for certification under applicable IHO and industry standards.

We work with maritime industry operators, training centres, academic institutions, and equipment manufacturers across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

HIL Test Bench

Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Platform

A simulation test bench where real hardware — onboard computer, steering controller, engine management unit — connects to a software-generated maritime environment. Sensor inputs (radar, GPS, AIS, camera) are produced by the simulation layer. Enables systematic testing of software algorithms and hardware fault responses in a controlled laboratory setting.

  • Real hardware connected to simulated radar, AIS, GNSS, camera and comms signals
  • Scenario engine: adverse weather, signal interference, sensor failures, communication disruption
  • Reduces development cost 20–30% versus traditional sea trial approach
  • Structured test logs and reports for technical documentation and certification support

Digital Data Delivery

Vessel Digital Data Distribution for IMO Compliance

Software platform for centralised delivery of all vessel digital data required for regulatory compliance — AVCS electronic navigational charts, digital publications, nautical documents, and operational records. Manages licences, tracks permit expiry, and pushes delta updates to onboard systems. Ensures vessels meet IMO, SOLAS, and flag state requirements for digital record-keeping and chart carriage.

  • Centralised delivery of AVCS charts, digital publications, and compliance documents to onboard systems
  • Delta update management — only changed cells transmitted, minimising bandwidth
  • Licence tracking, permit administration, and expiry filtering across fleet
  • IHO S-57 / S-63 data formats · flag state compatible
  • S-100 ready — architecture designed for next-generation IHO S-100 data framework migration

About Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation

Sea trials are expensive, slow to schedule, and unsuitable for testing failure modes. HIL testing connects real hardware to a simulated environment, letting engineers run the same scenario hundreds of times and deliberately inject faults in a controlled setting. Test reports generated on the bench are accepted by DNV, Lloyd's Register, and other classification societies.

01
Algorithm Testing

Real onboard hardware receives simulated sensor signals from the software environment. Control decisions are evaluated across a wide range of edge cases in a repeatable, controlled setting.

02
Mechatronic Validation

Real steering controllers and engine management units connect to the bench. CAN bus errors, timing mismatches, and integration bugs are caught where fixes cost 100× less.

03
Fault Injection

The bench injects controlled fault conditions: sensor dropout, signal loss, communication disruption. Fault handling and failover logic is verified in a safe laboratory environment before deployment.

04
Classification Reports

HIL test bench generates structured, audit-ready reports and logs supporting technical documentation for software certification processes.

05
Parallel Development

Software teams test navigation algorithms while hardware teams validate sensors — and the vessel may not yet be built. HIL compresses the development timeline.
