Ericsson says it has partnered with Net Feasa to deploy an agentic Artificial Intelligence-powered maritime connectivity solution globally.
The Head of Southeast Asia, Oceania and India at Ericsson, Andres Vicente said this in a statement released on Tuesday in Lagos.
The report states that Agentic AI refers to autonomous artificial intelligence systems capable of analysing data, making decisions and executing multi-step operational tasks with minimal human supervision.
Vicente said the solution combined Ericsson’s 4G and 5G technologies with Net Feasa’s Agentic Control Tower platform to enable real-time monitoring, operational management and AI-driven maritime supply chain visibility globally.
He said the partnership would provide secure, carrier-grade onboard connectivity for container vessels, enabling operators to access AI-ready operational data regardless of location across the world’s oceans and shipping routes.
According to him, the technology will support data-driven shipping operations and AI-enabled services from ship to shore while helping maritime operators improve efficiency, connectivity reliability and cargo monitoring capabilities globally.
“Maritime operators need secure, reliable connectivity that follows vessels wherever they sail while enabling intelligent services and operational visibility across increasingly digital and interconnected maritime supply chains.
“With container vessels as our starting point, the scope of what we can achieve across the entire global shipping industry remains immense as intelligent maritime operations continue evolving rapidly,” he added.
Vicente said the solution was already being deployed globally with current use cases including reefer monitoring, dangerous goods handling and early heat detection capabilities supporting cargo safety and operational efficiency.
According to him, the platform can scale to connect thousands of onboard assets per vessel while enabling real-time communication, operational alerts and proactive decision-making across maritime supply chain operations globally.
Also, the Chairman and Founder of Net Feasa, Mike Fitzgerald, said digitalisation of the intermodal supply chain had reached a critical turning point driven by emerging agentic AI technologies globally.
Fitzgerald said the partnership would help carriers gather, analyse and secure operational data from moving assets while improving employee safety, cargo risk management and regulatory compliance across maritime logistics operations.
According to him, the collaboration has potential to transform global shipping operations beyond efficiency improvements by enabling smarter decision-making, enhanced cargo protection systems and stronger compliance management capabilities for operators.
“This landmark partnership has the potential to transform the global maritime industry not only operationally, but also across employee safety, cargo risk reduction and broader compliance management systems,” Fitzgerald said.
