Integated Energy Solutions to Smart and Green Shipping

Project: Business Finland project

Project Details

Description

Digitalization and automation have been transforming the shipping industries. INTENS is an industry-wide joint effort dedicated to advancing and promoting the digital transformation in Finnish marine industries and beyond. By implementing and further developing the Digital Twin approach, it is able to holistically integrate ship energy systems at the component, system, ship and fleet levels, aiming to achieve intelligent and optimal design and operation of ship energy systems throughout their life cycles. Consequently, it can potentially change and disrupt the ways how the marine industries operate currently and pave the way to the future shipping.
