Although the breach was discovered within 30 minutes and full recovery occurred after 12 hours, the incident caused a massive operational delay, $2.5 million in demurrage losses. It exposed a critical vulnerability in onboard access controls.

The Root Problem: No Real-Time Access Surveillance

Traditional onboard security relied on CCTV playback and manual badge checks, which failed to flag unauthorised persons in real-time. There was no smart monitoring to track who was entering sensitive zones, how long they stayed, or whether they had the necessary access clearance.

 How Dtyle.Ai Could Have Prevented the Blue Sentinel Breach

 Intelligent Zone Surveillance

Dtyle.Ai allows you to assign access levels to specific ship areas. Our AI monitors real-time feeds from your existing CCTV network and flags any unauthorised entry based on role, schedule, and known behaviour patterns.

 Real-Time Intrusion Alerts

If an unknown person enters a red zone (like the engine room or control deck), Dtyle.Ai instantly alerts the bridge and operations centre, triggering physical lockdowns or escalation protocols.

 Crew Behaviour Learning

Dtyle.Ai learns the daily patterns of your authorised crew — who goes where, when, and how long they typically stay. Any deviation becomes a predictive signal, helping prevent insider threats or human error.

No Additional Hardware Needed

Using existing cameras, Dtyle.Ai overlays an intelligence layer that transforms your current setup into a proactive security system, eliminating the need for new installations or complex training.

Why This Matters

Had Dtyle.Ai been deployed on the Blue Sentinel:

• The unauthorised presence would have been flagged instantly

• A lockout command or security intervention could’ve stopped system tampering

• The vessel’s journey would have continued without delay, and the cargo contracts would have remained unaffected

Final Word

Security at sea isn’t just about fences or footage — it’s about intelligent awareness in real time. As maritime vessels become increasingly automated and connected, the risks of unauthorised access also grow.

With Dtyle.Ai, your ship gains a digital layer of protection, ensuring that every area is monitored, every role is enforced, and every second is accounted for.
