-Hello!
-This dataset is currently under construction. 
-Hang on tight, we'll be finished soon and publish the new multimodal maritime panoptic dataset!
+# Maritime Multimodal Panoptic Segmentation Dataset 🌊🚢
+
+## Dataset Summary
+This dataset contains **multimodal maritime imagery** for **panoptic segmentation** and **object detection** tasks.  
+It includes aligned **RGB and thermal images**, with **merged panoptic annotations** in COCO format.  
+
+The dataset is particularly designed for tasks such as:
+- Vessel and obstacle detection
+- Water-sky-land segmentation
+- Multimodal feature fusion (RGB + Thermal)
+- Horizon detection
+
+⚠️ **Status: Work in Progress**  
+This dataset is still under construction.  
+- We are continuously **adding more images**  
+- Polishing the **annotation format** (COCO Panoptic standard)  
+- Improving **mask quality** and consistency   
+
+Please expect changes in structure and annotations over time, we wil let you know once the dataset is fully finished!
