A new study, ‘Shipping Digital Twin Landscape,’ published in the book State-of-the-Art Digital Twin Applications for Shipping Sector Decarbonization, has shed light on digital twins’ current and future impact on the shipping industry.
According to the research, digital twins are becoming more prominent in the shipping industry. Twins are used for fuel maintenance optimization, real-time feedback on ship performance, and even predictive vessel upkeep.
Currently, these twins are being used for several different use cases and require sophisticated data sources for them to work effectively. As the technology becomes more advanced, the study suggests that these twins will become more widely used within the ship industry in the future. Specifically, digital twins will be used to classify autonomous vessels as ships become more advanced. Similarly, these twins will look to become more integrated with smart shipping systems.
All in all, this study showcases the innovative use case of digital twins in the shipping industry; as the technology becomes more advanced, we should expect further integration with shipping technology.
