The focus on digitalisation in manufacturing is spreading to other industry fields, including
large and complex objects like ships. Such interest introduces the concept of Digital Twins in …

Potential fuel savings using a speed optimization algorithm have been studied for two case
vessels in four different seasons at three ship speeds. Up to 6% fuel savings were observed …

The hydrodynamic performance of a sea-going ship varies over its lifespan due to factors
like marine fouling and the condition of the anti-fouling paint system. In order to accurately …

Abstract The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has enforced stricter limits on the
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission due to environment and climate concerns. Many …

While the concept of a digital twin to support maritime operations is gaining attention for
predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, control, and overall process optimization …

Abstract International Marine Organization is promoting stricter carbon emission reduction
targets, and the influx of environmental regulations presents compliance risks for maritime …

This paper presents the effect of hull roughness over 10 years of operation on ship
performance. The numerical model is developed by coupling NavCad and Matlab to perform …

A fully autonomous ship should be monitored in a digital environment to track its real-time
response to the changes in its surroundings. It is commanded by a controller algorithm …

Ships are exposed to added resistance caused by external environmental conditions, as
well as the resistance due to the ship's form and the molecular features of the water. Since …

Ship's performance and its emissions are affected by several factors like operational state,
weather, and maintenance condition. Rating ships with performance indices, such as AER …
