Project description
Digital and environmental transformation of maritime sector
The growing threat of climate change and the increasing frequency of natural disasters have driven organisations and countries worldwide to adopt innovative green solutions. As a vital component of logistics, transport, and global operations, the maritime sector is a key focus for the green transition. The EU-funded TwinShip project aims to advance the digitalisation of the maritime industry by developing a collaborative, open-source digital platform powered by digitally enabled decision support systems. By bringing together innovators, experts, researchers, and stakeholders in maritime technologies, the project seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping, contributing significantly to global sustainability efforts.
Objective
The TwinShip consortium is spearheading an initiative to transform the maritime sector by creating an alliance of premier maritime technology, solution & service providers, ship design and shipping firms, classification societies, ports, software developers, and research and academic bodies. This collaboration is centered around a unique, open-source digital platform enriched with data and powered by domain knowledge-based advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities. By introducing a Digital Twin (DT) enabled Decision Support System (DSS) in the same digital platform, TwinShip is setting a course for the maritime industry's rapid digital and environmental transformation. The project sets ambitious benchmarks for reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions in international shipping, aiming for a 30-40% reduction by 2030, 80-90% by 2040, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2045, all relative to 2008 levels by utilizing its Pilot Vessels and Futuristic Unmanned Vessel Concept. This initiative focuses on leveraging both existing and emergent clean fuels and technologies, prioritizing renewable energy sources, and the implementation of unmanned vessels. The TwinShip DT-enabled DSS is crafted to navigate the industry toward achieving these significant environmental targets, demonstrating the consortium's dedication to fostering sustainability and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
