Maritime Digital Twin
Dynamic ship/port twin enabling scenario testing, ESG reporting, and predictive maintenance.
Overview
Maritime Digital Twin builds a real-time virtual representation of vessels and ports using sensor data, operational logs, and satellite inputs. It enables predictive maintenance, scenario simulation, and compliance tracking, advancing operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Objectives
Focused goals of the research
Predictive Maintenance
Forecasts equipment failures using sensor data and alerts for proactive servicing.
ESG Reporting
Tracks emissions, energy use, and sustainability metrics across the fleet.
Scenario Testing
Simulates 'what-if' port and voyage scenarios to assess performance and risks.
Methodology
Step-by-step approach driving our exploration
Sensor fusion from AIS, LIDAR, and onboard IoT
Digital twin modeling using graph-based entity mapping
Predictive modeling with LSTM and XGBoost
ESG data tagging via machine learning pipelines
Simulation of operational scenarios and failure states
Applications
Where our research is making an impact
Ship Lifecycle Management
Digital twin tracks wear, maintenance history, and next service due across vessel subsystems.
Port Optimization
Simulates traffic flow, berth allocation, and crane timing to reduce idle time and congestion.
Compliance Monitoring
Continuously evaluates operational data for regulatory deviations and auto-generates ESG reports.
