Waterway IT Joins Eyesea, Strengthening Industry Collaboration to Tackle Ocean Pollution
22 April 2026 — Waterway IT has announced that it has joined Eyesea, the global initiative dedicated to mapping and combating marine pollution through collective action and community engagement across the maritime sector.
With a strong presence in the maritime industry, Waterway IT shares Eyesea’s commitment to protecting the marine environment and supporting responsible ocean stewardship. By joining the initiative, the company becomes part of a growing global network of organizations, seafarers, and volunteers working together to better understand and address pollution at sea.
Eyesea is a nonprofit initiative that combines crowd-sourced reporting, satellite data, and artificial intelligence to build the world’s largest database of ocean pollution and maritime hazards. Through a mobile platform, seafarers and coastal communities can submit geo-tagged images of pollution, transforming real-world observations into actionable intelligence for clean-up efforts and policy development.
“Being part of Eyesea reflects our commitment to supporting the maritime community beyond our core services,” said Florian zum Felde, CCO, Waterway IT. “This initiative resonates strongly with our environmental and collaborative values and fits well with our people and our everyday work across the industry. It’s contributing to something bigger, protecting the oceans we all depend on.”
Graeme Somerville-Ryan, Founder of Eyesea added: “Eyesea is built on collaboration, and bringing in partners like Waterway IT strengthens the sense of shared purpose across the maritime sector. This is not just about technology—it’s about people, culture, and a collective responsibility to safeguard our oceans.”
Through this partnership, Waterway IT will support Eyesea’s mission by encouraging participation across its network and helping to raise awareness of the importance of pollution reporting and environmental accountability within the maritime community.
The collaboration highlights the importance of cultural alignment and industry engagement in tackling global environmental challenges. Shipping companies, service providers, and seafarers all have a role to play—and initiatives like Eyesea provide a simple but powerful way for individuals and organizations to contribute.
