After 10 months of dedicated development and two rounds of consultation with key partners, we are proud to officially launch IORIS Version 4 — a major milestone that redefines the future of maritime information sharing and interagency coordination. As of now, the IORIS Training Platform is fully operational, with the Operational Platform going live on 14 May 2025. This release is not just an upgrade — it’s a complete re-engineering of IORIS, powered by a modern technology stack, microservices architecture, and cloud-based hosting to deliver maximum efficiency and resilience.
What’s New in IORIS V4?
This latest version of IORIS introduces a wide range of improvements designed to meet the complex and evolving needs of maritime operations, coordination centres, and partner agencies across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
- Platform Robustness
V4 offers significantly enhanced performance and high availability, ensuring seamless support for mission-critical operations. Whether it’s routine coordination or crisis response, the new architecture delivers stability when it matters most.
- Advanced Integration Framework
IORIS V4 comes equipped with a powerful, built-in framework for integrating with external systems. New integrations include:
- Coastal Applications
- OceanWise mapping overlays
- Satellite AIS, including historical tracking data
- Multilingual translation tools
- Skylight for maritime surveillance
These integrations empower users with a rich, real-time operating picture while simplifying cross-platform workflows.
- API Connectivity
Through its newly available API infrastructure, IORIS can now connect with a broader range of third-party services and platforms, allowing agencies and partners to fully embed IORIS into their own digital ecosystems.
- Scalability & Performance
Designed to scale, V4 ensures fast performance and low latency across even the most diverse and geographically dispersed user groups. It’s optimized for both regional coordination centres and field units alike.
- Data Sovereignty & Security
Security remains a cornerstone of the platform. Users retain full control over their data, with flexible hosting options and secure archiving features to comply with institutional and national data policies.
Introducing: IORIS LITE
Alongside the full-featured platform, we are excited to introduce IORIS LITE — a streamlined version designed for users who need quick and intuitive access without extensive training. Ideal for:
- Policymakers
- Operations centre managers
- Mariners, both navy and merchant
- New users with limited or no IORIS training
IORIS LITE simplifies the user experience while preserving essential coordination tools, helping to broaden access and foster wider adoption.
It was inspiring to see such strong participation from our partners during the recent online presentations. Your feedback, insights, and engagement were instrumental in shaping this release.
The launch of IORIS V4 is a testament to what we can achieve together — through shared vision, technical innovation, and international cooperation.
