SMM 2026: Visit IN at the World’s Leading Maritime Trade Fair in Hamburg

Posted on by Nelli Schenkel

From September 1 to 4, 2026, the SMM in Hamburg will once again bring together professionals from across the global maritime industry. As the world’s leading maritime trade fair, SMM provides an ideal platform for exchanging ideas on latest developments, innovative technologies and future-oriented maritime traffic solutions.

in-innovative navigation GmbH will be exhibiting once again, showcasing its latest solutions for maritime traffic surveillance. At the center of our exhibition are inVTS, our modular Maritime Traffic Surveillance Solution and inDTSweb, our web-based display solution that provides access to the maritime operational picture anytime and anywhere through a standard web browser.

We will also introduce the latest enhancements to our solutions. These include our Search & Rescue functionality, which provides operators with intelligent decision support during search and rescue operations and our Anomaly Detection module, enabling the early identification of unusual or suspicious vessel behaviour. Another highlight is the integration of S-111 Surface Current Data and S-104 Water Level Information, enriching the maritime operational picture with standardized hydrographic data and contributing to even greater Situational Awareness.

SMM offers an excellent opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and industry professionals from around the world, discuss the latest challenges facing the maritime sector, and experience our newest developments firsthand.

Visit us from September 1 to 4, 2026, in Hall B6, Booth 404. We look forward to welcoming you personally in Hamburg.

inDTS is now S-100 ready!

At this year’s EUROPORT, we took the chance to showcase the integration of SevenCs’ state-of-the-art S-100 Nautilus ECDIS kernel into our inDTS application for the first time. We have had a long and fruitful cooperation with SevenCs for over 20 years. We are pleased that with inDTS and Nautilus we can combine two powerful tools into one comprehensive and highly performant maritime traffic monitoring solution.

The integration of bathymetry data, for example, provides our customers with a wealth of new information. The availability of this data is essential for the precise planning and execution of dredging work, e.g. in harbor areas or river sections that depend on draught. It is therefore crucial to carry out such work, for example, to remove washed-up sand from canals or berths to ensure the required water depths. If this bathymetry data is also available in a highly up-to-date condition, harbor operators can plan the use of berths in an even more targeted manner.

Thanks to the cooperation with SevenCs and the regular exchange and participation in the relevant standardisation committees (e.g. IALA VTS Working Groups), we are ideally positioned not only to meet current standards such as S-124 “Navigational Warnings” or S-125 “Marine Aids to Navigation (AtoN)”, but also to smoothly integrate future standards of the S-100 framework. Examples of this are the standards S-210 “Inter-VTS Exchange Format”, S-211 “Port Call Message Format” and S-212 “VTS Digital Service”.

This advanced co-operation enables us to meet the constantly growing requirements of the maritime industry and at the same time to provide innovative solutions that continuously improve efficiency and security in VTS systems.
