Waterway depth tracking start-up DockTech raises US$2.5m in investment round

DockTech, a start-up which uses digital twin technology and data analysis to track waterway depth, has completed a new US$2.5m investment round, with participation from Wilson Sons and venture capital funds.

Founded by former Israeli Navy officer Uri Yoselevich, the solution uses bathymetric (depth measurement) data collected by tugs and other harbour vessels to create a virtual representation of the seabed of ports and waterways.

It consists of real-time tracking of waterway depth and understanding how the silting pattern of ports can affect shipping and cargo transport safety.
