TWINSHIP ONTOLOGY
| 🚢 Exciting milestone for the TwinShip Consortium project! 🔗 https://ontology.twin-ship.eu/index-en.html We're thrilled to announce the publication of the first version of the TwinShip Ontology - a foundational step toward standardizing the digital twin in shipping. 🌐 A significant portion of these ontologies is grounded in the IMO Compendium - the internationally recognized framework designed to enable seamless, standardized communication between vessels and ports. By building on this foundation, we ensure our work aligns with the broader maritime ecosystem from day one. So, what does this mean in practice? While these ontologies are developed to support vessel Digital Twin (DT) model development, their impact extends far beyond a single project: ✅ Shipping companies can standardize data collection and processing across their fleets ✅ DT model development can follow a consistent, interoperable framework ✅ Applications like voyage optimization can be built on shared, reliable data structures What's next? The road ahead is equally exciting. Our next milestone is the development of knowledge graphs for the TwinShip pilot vessels - which will serve as the backbone for the actual DT model development to follow. The maritime industry is at the beginning of a digital transformation, and ontologies like these are the quiet infrastructure that will make it scalable, interoperable, and impactful. 👉 Explore the IMO Compendium: https://imocompendium.imo.org/public/IMO-Compendium/Current/index.htm We'd love to hear from maritime professionals, researchers, and technology partners - how is your organization approaching data standardization for digital twins? |

TwinShip at the Port of Valencia
| Today, the TwinShip Horizon Europe project team visited the Port of Valencia to discuss future port needs and explore how our Digital Twin (DT) models and Decision Support System (DSS) tools can support next-generation, sustainable port operations. This collaboration is a key step toward aligning smart port development, decarbonization goals, and advanced maritime digitalization in future ports. |

Successful completion of the First Year of the TwinSip project
| 🌊 TwinShip Futuristic Digital Technologies Visit Future Ports Today, 11th February 2026, we held the 2nd General Assembly of the TwinShip Consortium Horizon Europe project ( https://twin-ship.eu/ ) at the Port of Valencia, Spain – key milestones in advancing maritime digitalization for decarbonization. 🚢 The TwinShip consortium unites leading maritime technology providers, shipping companies, classification societies, ports, software developers, and research institutions. Together, we are developing an open-source digital platform powered by data, advanced AI/ML, and Digital Twin technologies for: ✅ Current vessels ✅ Current & emerging green fuels and technologies ✅ Futuristic vessel concepts and voyage optimization applications At the heart of TwinShip is a DT-enabled Decision Support System (DSS) designed to: ✅ Support the industry’s digital transformation ✅ Accelerate decarbonization pathways ✅ Enable the adoption of clean fuels, renewable energy & unmanned vessels With our pilot vessels and Futuristic Unmanned Vessel Concept, TwinShip is helping chart the course toward a sustainable, innovative, and resilient maritime sector. |
