With Professor Lokukaluge Prasad Perera, UiT The Arctic University of Norway and Senior Researcher at SINTEF Digital Shipping has no shortage of data. The real challenge is turning it into better decisions.
In this presentation, Lokukaluge Prasad Perera introduces TwinShip, a Horizon Europe research project exploring how digital twin technology can support greener and more efficient maritime operations.
You get an overview of the project’s objectives, innovations and approach to digital twin development, including how vessel and operational data can be structured and used to improve environmental and commercial efficiency. Perera also addresses some of the barriers that make digitalisation difficult in shipping, from data quality and commercial sensitivity to the integration of machine learning and AI.
The presentation connects digital twins with the wider decarbonisation challenge and shows how TwinShip brings together research organisations, technology providers, shipowners, maritime designers, software companies and other partners to develop and demonstrate new solutions.
For engineers and maritime professionals, this is a concise introduction to how better use of data, AI and digital twins can help move shipping towards more efficient and lower-emission operations.
