Wärtsilä Joins 'TwinShip' Project for Decarbonisation in Maritime

Wärtsilä has announced its participation in the 'TwinShip' initiative, which aims to improve access to reliable data to enable smarter maritime decisions for decarbonising fleet operations. Financed by the European Union (EU) and running from 2025 to 2028, this project will bring together more than ten partners comprising technology and service providers, ship design and maritime companies, classification societies, ports, software developers, and research and academic institutions.

\n

\n

The TwinShip project aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) that can be used when planning different configurations of machinery, propulsion, and energy-saving equipment for new builds and retrofits, leveraging the expertise of these partners. The objective is to provide reliable cost, performance, and emission data based on best-field knowledge. These data will be further enhanced through advanced AI-based algorithms that can analyse large volumes of real test data, thereby delivering more precise and reliable results.

\n

\n

A key component of the project is the analysis of large volumes of real test data through the use of advanced AI algorithms. This will improve the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained, thereby creating better predictions and decision support mechanisms. The project results will be validated through four pilot ship demonstrations and practical applications will be tested.

\n

\n

In alignment with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) 2023 Greenhouse Gas Strategy, TwinShip will establish ambitious criteria to support the industry's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A central element is providing access to reliable data and predictive insights that will significantly impact fleet efficiency optimisation; this will lead to better performance, lower costs, and reduced emissions.

\n

\n

The initiative will utilise and build upon the results of Wärtsilä's previous and ongoing EU-financed projects—SeaTech, CHEK, Green Ray, and Ammonia2-4. The experience and knowledge gained from these projects will play an important role in achieving TwinShip's objectives.

\n

\n

Anders Öster, General Manager of Wärtsilä Marine Research Coordination and Finance, stated: "Industry collaboration is essential for the maritime industry to achieve its emission reduction targets, and this TwinShip project is an exceptionally important initiative that we are pleased to support as Wärtsilä. By working together under the collaborative umbrella of this project, we can make a genuine contribution to a decarbonised future."

\n

The TwinShip project aims to establish new standards for more sustainable and efficient operations in the maritime sector. By delivering reliable data and predictive insights, it will help ship owners and operators optimise fleet performance, reduce costs, and lower emissions. The project also seeks to promote collaboration among stakeholders in the sector, leveraging collective knowledge and expertise.
