Digital Twins of the Ocean in Practice Part 2 - Port Activities
In an era of rapid digital transformation, ports face the challenge of optimising operations, enhancing efficiency, and navigating complex digital landscapes. Digital twin technology provides a powerful solution by creating a virtual, dynamic replica of a port's infrastructure, operations, and systems.
During the webinar, experts explored how digital twins enable ports to analyse real-time data, support smarter decision-making, and enhance predictive maintenance. The discussion highlighted how these insights help improve throughput, reduce operational costs, and increase safety while addressing digital challenges.
The session provided practical examples of how ports are adopting digital twin technology to become smarter, more adaptive hubs within the global maritime ecosystem.
