Introducing the Future of Navigation After years of conceptual work, prototyping, and rigorous real-world testing, we are thrilled to announce […]

A situational awareness tool is only as good as its performance when visibility drops to zero. This spring and summer, ESBEN underwent a series of rigorous sea trials designed to test its capabilities in the most challenging real-world conditions: dense fog and total darkness.

A key highlight of our trip to Germany was the opportunity to visit the prestigious Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services (CML) in Hamburg. As a world-renowned leader in applied research, Fraunhofer is at the forefront of maritime innovation, making this meeting particularly significant.

Our recent business mission to Germany, supported by Enterprise Estonia, was a strategically important and deeply inspiring trip. We had the invaluable opportunity to visit and hold discussions at the bustling ports of Hamburg and Rostock, gaining firsthand insight into the operations of two of Europe’s leading maritime hubs.

We were thrilled to take part in Singapore Maritime Week 2025, a truly global hub for the maritime industry. For Varcus Solutions, this exhibition was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our expertise, connect with professionals from across the Asian market, and exchange ideas about the future of maritime technology.

Participating in the international maritime expo, Meremess, in our hometown of Tallinn is always a special occasion. This event provides a unique platform to connect with the key figures, authorities, and innovators within the Estonian maritime industry, our home ecosystem.

After years of dedicated development, AEGIR was officially integrated into the curriculum at the prestigious Estonian Maritime Academy (EMERA). This partnership marked a major validation of our technology, signifying its acceptance not just as a commercial training tool, but as a vital component of formal maritime education for the next generation of seafarers.

We were proud to represent Estonia’s growing maritime tech scene at SMM in Hamburg, one of the world’s leading trade fairs for the maritime industry. As part of the Estonian national stand organized by Enterprise Estonia (EIS), we had the opportunity to showcase our solutions to a truly global audience.

AEGIR found its first official home with the full-scale installation of a green-room setup at our partner, the Reval Safety Training Centre in Tallinn. This deployment marked the critical transition of AEGIR from a development prototype to a fully operational training tool, used in daily certification courses.

We were thrilled to join our development partner, Reval Safety Training Centre, at the WindEurope 2021 trade fair in Copenhagen. This was our first major international event and a perfect opportunity to introduce the newly GWO-certified AEGIR simulator to its primary audience: the offshore wind industry.
